Sybille Hein describes where we encounter fakes everywhere, starting in the nursery and at school, but also in advertising, in the animal kingdom and, of course, in politics: false facts are faked in order to profit from them. There are many words for this principle, and it has been used throughout the history of mankind. But when does fake become dangerous? And what helps to differentiate between falsehoods and truths? Sybille Hein shows the phenomenon of fakes in its many facets in many witty pictures with concise, humorous texts that familiarise children with the topic in a light-footed way - and encourage them not to believe everything they see, but to stay alert and always question supposed facts.
