Since no humans live on the Schulze-Diekamp farm anymore, the farm animals quickly realize that getting along without rules is difficult. The little dog Joscha and the kid goat Kimmi are also worried. How are they supposed to make decisions from now on? Should the strong ox Oskar step into the farmer's shoes and become the new leader? Or is there a way for all the animals, from the chicken to the horse, to have a say? Inspired by George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Ruprecht Polenz explains elections and our democratic values in a child-friendly and entertaining way. He explores the question of how a fairer society could actually be achieved. In this way, children learn playfully how valuable democracy and freedom are – and that one cannot exist without the other.
