Baerlie and Red-Nosed is lovingly illustrated by Michael Stefer and wittily texted by Helga Kleisny: An airplane captain and an aviation journalist who, in Corona times, combine in one book the charm of Janosch drawings, the illustrious world of Alice in Wonderland and the wisdom of life of the Little Prince.
The testimonial can be seen on the Youtube channel for Baerlie and Red-Nosed with an enchanting video.
As the testimonial shows, the project arouses many positive emotions in those who have seen at least one book. The reactions lead to an amazing creativity of the readers.

Get it at amazon.
The second volume is even more about flying, more precisely, about water flying. Well, cats and parachutes are in it too, of course. Pure adventure. :-) The two also learn that fear never helps and how to eat healthy. All with humor and lightness, like everything in this project.
Available at amazon.
Special edition of the 2nd english volume:
This edition was designed especially for Brown's Seaplane Base and is only available there.
"And that flies?" Red-nosed still cautiously says."On the water it first rides like a boat, then we water ski and as soon as we are fast enough it takes off and flies like an airplane," says the pilot with a smile."You will see it in a moment."
Parachutes?Now skydiving?The Red-nosed winces and sighs."Are you worried?" the pilot asks empathetically."Well, yes," the Red-nosed replies cautiously, "I have ... a little ... Jitters about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane." "Fear," says the pilot with a smile, "is a very useless emotion.It paralyzes and limits your abilities tremendously.Respect for the forces of nature (and physics) is good and necessary. That is why I will show you exactly what you have to do and when."
