Anne-Margot Ramstein - Albert Einstein\'s Bright Ideas
2017
English edition
Diaphanes - Plato & Co.
The young Albert Einstein has a very important job: he must deliver electricity to the big Oktoberfest celebration in Munich.

The key just may lie in the question of whether a dumpling can fly faster than light (an illustrated philosophy book for children).
