Shaking Things Up

  • Important topics: empowerment, racism, housing shortage, class distinctions
  • With b/w illustrations by the author
  • A stunning debut

Zahra is new to Berlin and looking for an apartment together with her mum. But rents are high, and Zahra and her mum are not the landlords and landladies’ first choice anyway. Between two appointments for looking at apartments, Zahra meets Nike – and even though the two girls are very different from each other, they immediately become friends. Good-natured Nike really wants to help Zahra; but although she means well, she sometimes oversteps important boundaries. But as good friends, Zahra and Nike are open with each other and thus learn to better understand each other.
