A little ghost seeks friendship and courage
At the picture book cinema in the Mannheim city library Herzogenried branch, children aged three and up experience a heartwarming story about the fear of being alone, friendship, and the courage to approach others. The event is already sold out.
Large pictures, a loving story
The little ghost lives in a castle and actually wants to haunt and scare. But it quickly feels anxious – especially when it is alone. Therefore, it sets out to find a friend for a small sleepover party. Gareth Ryan's story invites children to recognize feelings and talk about closeness, trust, and friendship.
Child-friendly learning experience with imagination
The picture book cinema combines listening together with large book images, creating an age-appropriate family experience. Children dive into an imaginative world, experience children's laughter, and playfully develop an understanding of emotions and social relationships. The calm atmosphere of the library supports concentration, curiosity, and learning enjoyment.
Creative conclusion with ghost light chain
Following the story, the children will craft a ghost light chain. This creative offer strengthens fine motor skills, imagination, and self-efficacy. By creating together, a special learning experience emerges, allowing children to make their impressions from the story visible.
Important information for families
The picture book cinema begins on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM and is aimed at children aged three and up. Admission is free. Registration was possible via email at stadtbibliothek.herzogenried@mannheim.de or by phone at 0621 293-5055. The event is sold out.
Conclusion: A gentle journey to courage and friendship

Families experience an imaginative, child-friendly literary offering with educational value – currently, however, with no available spots.
