Karl – A tender bedtime story about friendship and the happiness of no longer being alone

Feodora and Gino are having a happy picnic in the forest. It's a sunny day, full of laughter and discoveries. But suddenly they meet a little beetle who looks very sad. They call him Karl – and he feels lonely.

With a lot of heart and understanding, the two dinosaur children try to figure out what's bothering Karl. Together, they experience a quiet, warm-hearted adventure that not only brings a smile to Karl's face—but also gives all the little listeners a cozy feeling as they drift off to sleep.
