"The almost insoluble task is to let neither the power of others, nor our own powerlessness, stupefy us."
["Die fast unlösbare Aufgabe besteht darin, weder von der Macht der anderen, noch von der eigenen Ohnmacht sich dumm machen zu lassen."]
- Adorno, Minima Moralia (translated by E. Jephcott).
This could be the story of a nice children's book. A painted one (like Lucie et cie [Lucy and Company] by Marianne Dubuc). That'd be awesome for kids around 2-4.
I've never been much of a fan of children's books with photographs, but I guess that could work, too (see "Mein Esel Benjamin" [My donkey Benjamin] by Hans Limmer/Lennart Osbeck).
