Elsa breaks free: An animal reading for little adventurers

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, it will be exciting, touching, and wonderfully animalistic in the village of Sentana in Bielefeld: In the reading Elsa breaks free – A quite true story, children from four years old will experience the adventure of a brave cow searching for her own way. The 30-minute event starts at 3 PM and takes place as part of the autumn day in the village of Sentana.

A true heroine with a special story

For the first time in her life, Elsa rides in a truck. When the door of the cargo area opens, the cow feels uneasy and runs away. She runs into the forest and decides to become a forest cow. The story combines excitement, humor, and strong emotions with a child-friendly message about courage, self-confidence, and trusting one's gut feelings.

Reading close to real animals

Elsa is not just a picture book character. The story is based on the life of the cow Elsa, who has now found her forever home at the meeting and living farm in the village of Sentana in Bielefeld. The reading thus creates a special connection between literature, animal welfare, and an immediate family experience. Children witness how a true animal story transforms into a picture book full of wonder, curiosity, and children's laughter.

Aging-appropriate, heartfelt, and educational

The reading is aimed at children from four years old and is therefore suitable for young listeners in kindergarten and early elementary school. The story invites discussions about feelings, safety, self-determination, and respectful treatment of animals. Reading along promotes language, imagination, listening, and shared reflection. For families, it offers a short, concentrated learning experience with plenty of fun and shared time.

Autumn day with waffles and campfire

The reading is part of the autumn day in the village of Sentana, which takes place on October 17, 2026, from 1 PM to 6 PM. Around the event, families can enjoy seasonal impressions with pumpkin soup, fresh waffles, and a campfire in the village square. This makes it possible to combine the reading with a relaxed outing to the living farm.

A family experience with heart

When Elsa breaks free, a story about courage, change, and arriving at a safe place begins. Families can expect a loving reading that takes children seriously, stimulates their imagination, and at the same time introduces a gentle approach to animal welfare and responsibility. Come to the village of Sentana and experience Elsa where her quite true story is at home.
