A Journey into Ancient Egypt, where children actively shape the story

Those expecting an ordinary reading will experience a literary adventure with room for decision-making at St. Peter and Paul Church in Erlangen-Bruck: In the interactive reading from the children's book "In the Tomb of the Pharaoh," young visitors become the main characters themselves.

When Listening Becomes Active Storytelling

Children from preschool age or around six years old not only follow the story with their ears. They constantly face decisions that determine the further course of the plot. Through this, Volker Linhard combines classic reading, narrative role play, and playful knowledge transfer into an immediate literary experience.

Encounter with Moses and the Pharaoh

Moses, the Pharaoh, and the enslaved people of the Israelites become characters in a narrative world that becomes immediately tangible through the active participation of the audience. Historical and religious motifs meet a child-friendly narrative where curiosity, courage, and shared decision-making set the rhythm.

Volker Linhard: Literature Between Education and Adventure

The children's book author and religious educator Volker Linhard combines literary artistry with religious educational mediation. His style focuses on vividness, participation, and proximity to the life world of young readers. The reading thus opens a gateway to biblical themes without losing sight of the thrill of adventure.

A Special Reading Atmosphere in St. Peter and Paul

The church space creates an atmospheric framework for the author encounter. Between the narrative voice, historical images, and the decisions of the audience, an intimate atmosphere emerges where language is not abstract but experienced as a shared game. Families receive a cultural afternoon that connects literature, history, and religious education.

Conclusion: Literature as a Shared Adventure

The interactive reading makes children co-creators of an exciting journey into ancient Egypt. Those who are interested in a lively reading, an unusual storytelling format, and a playful encounter with Moses and the Pharaoh will experience a literary program for the whole family in Erlangen.
