A bilingual children’s picture book (DE / EN)
High up in the Swiss Alps, where the forest wakes slowly and the morning light slips between the trees, live Ray & Monty.
Ray is a living sunbeam — quick, curious, and always ready to move.
Monty is a mountain — calm, steady, and quietly wise.
One early morning, something unexpected happens:
A handful of hazelnuts begin to roll… and roll… and roll away.
The story
The Great Nut Chase is a gentle, playful chase through the forest.
Along the way, they notice tracks, listen to the wind, and meet familiar forest friends — each with their own rhythm and way of being. The world responds as they move: light shifts, leaves rustle, paths open.
