Children's book with beautiful illustrations, created by the outstanding artist Manuel di Chiara.

I am (still!) a kid, and I want to tell you about the week before my 'big day'. I'll tell you all about my home and school, about Mummy, and why Daddy doesn't live with me any more, and how I always have to finish everything on my plate before getting down from table. Why I like Duffi and Mr Hibschenberger so much, and about Chic Julie and smelly-fatso Bernd. What things I love, and others that make no sense at all. Who makes me cross, and who I really miss. And all about my future.

I'm standing outside the classroom door. Sent outside again. I only needed to sneeze. So I'm thinking about this and that. Germs, gurgelzola, dwarf rabbits, energy issues...but more than anything else, I'm thinking about my 'big day'.
