About Traumsalon – Who Are We?
Berlin-based children’s book publisher Traumsalon edition was set up thirteen years ago now.
We are proud of the things we have achieved in that time. Our books are growing in popularity and are now part of everyday life in many kindergartens, schools, libraries and homes.
All our books are the result of close cooperation with experts in the fields they cover, but also with parents, nursery workers, teachers and – especially – children.
We love to promote reading. Mr Wolke (Sven Pawlitschko) and Mr Schreiberling (Rolf Barth) travel throughout Germany to encourage children to love reading, and to introduce them to the wonderful, colourful world of books.
We are always engaged in a conversation with children, listening to them, getting to know their worlds and meeting them wherever they happen to be in their development.
We are open to new things and forward-looking while remaining devotees the Gutenberg galaxy.

Don’t Worry, Tim!
Catalogue Text:
This book was created in response to requests from many parents and teachers and aims to help with children’s fear of going to sleep. We wanted both to illustrate this anxiety and to offer a solution.
Every child is different – and everyone’s fears take different forms.
At Tim’s house, there’s a monster that sits by his bed every evening and stops him falling asleep. Tim and Mr Wolke take a trip inside his head and realise that the monster is all in his mind. So he can imagine the monster however he likes.
Which Tim does – with original and funny results.
The aim of this book is to help children recognise that they’re not alone with their fears. It also offers parents creative approaches to help their children tackle the issue.
One of our special story shows is available for this book, presented by Mr Wolke and the author, Rolf Barth, with his Wolkenzauber story theatre.
Blurb:
Tim can’t sleep! Every evening a monster sits by his bed and stops him falling asleep. Mr Wolke knows lots of children who have similar troubles. He comes to visit Tim and together they take a trip inside his head. Tim discovers that the monster is made out of air. So it only exists in his thoughts, and he can change those! Which he does. Tim now realises that monsters can be great fun to play with.
For children aged 4+ and their grown-ups!
