„HIER willst du ein Fest feiern?!“ Diego gehen die tadelnden Worte von Herrn Maulwurf gar nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Was, wenn er nun recht hat und Diegos Haus wirklich nicht gut genug ist, um seine Freundinnen und Freunde zu sich einzuladen? Ob er es schöner machen kann? Wie es den anderen wohl gefallen würde? Aufgeregt eilt Diego los, um sie zu fragen. Doch je mehr Tiere Diego trifft, desto verwirrter ist er. Labyrinthische Gänge. Ein Blick in die Sterne. Heute hier wohnen und morgen dort. Wie soll Diego all das verwirklichen? An ein Fest ist nicht zu denken! Ein Glück, dass seine Freundinnen und Freunde sich kurzerhand selbst einladen... Autor Matthew Burgess und Kiste-Zeichner Uwe Heidschötter verzaubern kleine und große Leser*innen mit einer ebenso poetischen wie ausdrucksstarken Geschichte über das, was wirklich zählt: Sei du selbst!
