You need good luck!
Rita Ricotta is as alone as a stray
dog, always without company,
always lost in the rain.
But if there is anything she loves, it’s the
ocean.
On weekends she often goes to the ocean
and watches the spray of the waves.
Loulou tells her about the South, about
blooming mimosa flowers and juicy figs.
Loulou says that to live there would be the
greatest happiness.
Things don’t look good for Rita
Ricotta, until good fortune decides
to look for her…
Will Gmehling, 1957 in Bremen, was a
painter, before he started to write
children's books.
His books are published by Sauerländer,
Residenz and by in Carlsen Verlag.
