Carole Lexa Schaefer Bücher

Carole Lexa Schaefer schreibt für Kinder und schöpft dabei aus ihrer Erfahrung mit jungen Lernenden und ihrem eigenen Familienerbe. Ihr Schreiben verbindet die lyrische Note einer Dichterin mit der scharfen Beobachtungsgabe einer Journalistin, was zu Erzählungen führt, die sowohl evokativ als auch präzise sind. Schaefer möchte Bücher schaffen, die jungen Lesern reine Freude bereiten und gleichzeitig subtil die Wertschätzung für Unterschiede und die Freude an gemeinsamen Erlebnissen fördern.
