Pauli discovers the world of languages in Braunschweig
When children's eyes light up and familiar words suddenly sound completely new, reading aloud becomes a special family experience. At the multilingual picture book cinema in the Braunschweig city library, children from four years old experience the story Pauli – Dearest Mama in French, Italian, and German.
Three languages, one loving picture book story
On Thursday, November 19, 2026, the city library presents the story by Brigitte Weninger as a picture book cinema. The images appear large and clearly visible while the plot comes to life in three languages: Fenouilo – Maman chérie, Paolino – Carissima mamma and Pauli – Dearest Mama.
The child-friendly format combines watching together with attentive listening. Children can recognize familiar words, discover new sounds, and experience that multiple languages naturally belong together.
Ages 4 and up: Learning fun for children
The picture book cinema is aimed at children from four years old. The short, visually supported story offers an age-appropriate learning experience and playfully strengthens language sensitivity, concentration, and joy in books. Multilingual reading also supports the development of curiosity, expressiveness, and intercultural understanding.
A family afternoon full of closeness and wonder
Especially for families with multiple family languages, the event creates a valuable shared moment. Children encounter French, Italian, and German in a relaxed atmosphere; parents experience how language, images, and children's laughter merge. Monolingual children also receive an easy and joyful access to foreign languages.
In the children's library of the city library
The Braunschweig city library offers media and events for children up to 13 years in its children's and youth library. In the foreign language department, picture books and other media are available in numerous languages. The multilingual picture book cinema takes place approximately once a month and is free of charge.
Conclusion: Immerse together in stories
The multilingual picture book cinema is a loving invitation to shared time, language discovery, and learning fun. Families experience a special story, hear familiar and new words, and take many little impressions home. Now mark the date and discover Pauli live at the Braunschweig city library.
