A book of hours, what might that be?
Well, a lifetime...
That of Jacominus Gainsborough.
The leaves in the park, the rain, the low tide.
A somersault, a farewell at the port, a reunion in a garden full of stones.
A picnic, a few races and a new shade under the almond tree.
All this.
One life

Jacominus Gainsborough dreamed of going to the moon, boarded a big ship, fell in love, buried his grandmother and romped around with his children. A completely normal life – and a fulfilled one. In her enchantingly beautifully illustrated book, Rébecca Dautremer tells of the risks, adversities and moments of happiness that make our existence precious. And gently opens up the important questions of life to her young and old readers.

Customer Reviews

Really great customer service! We ordered something and it arrived earlier than expected and was lovingly packaged. A spare part that we had requested was also sent with no problems. Highly recommended. (Translated)

Simply the most beautiful baby and children's shop 💛🤩! The window decorations alone are so beautiful and lovingly designed, you can't just walk past here 🤗😅... the decorations are so beautiful that decoration isn't really the right word, it's really beautiful self-designed art. The selection of lovingly selected products and brands is large and a dream, and there are also self-sewn pillows that you can have individually made. I love coming here, and as well as buying gifts I now also buy things for my own baby 👶🏼😍 and I always feel really well advised! Great service, I'll just say!!! kinder&konsorten is simply the most beautiful children's shop, it's great to have you in the neighborhood. (Translated)

A wonderful shop with attention to detail. Every item is carefully selected, making the shop a pure journey of discovery. The individual pillows have been the best gift for births, baptisms or birthdays for years, and have always accompanied my godchildren. A big recommendation for anyone looking for high-quality, special items. (Translated)

Beautiful shop and really nice employees! The constantly changing window displays make it always fun to stop by the shop. (Translated)

Tobias F.

Wonderful shop with hand-picked products. Pillows and other little things are made by hand by the boss. Things like that need to be supported. We always enjoy being there. (Translated)

Ro Mü

Very nice shop and a nice owner. The goods are great, they pay a lot of attention to ecological materials. The prices are reasonable for the goods. It is a great shop for us to buy clothes, toys and everything for children for our son. We would be happy to come again, recommended 👍🏽 (Translated)
