At Edition 5Haus, the book as an artwork becomes an experience that lasts. We only publish a few books a year, and we invest in green production, with eco-friendly inks and the FSC stamp. We organise a creative and innovative programme of events in both the analogue and digital world. Our SLOW BOOKS are slow, living books that break down barriers between generations.

Titles
A Little Mouse I'd Like to Be
Franziska Höllbacher
Bright, cheerful illustrations
Children as masters of metamorphosis
A picture book as diverse as its characters
Like most of us, do you sometimes find you don’t recognise yourself at all? Do you ever wish you were something completely different? Like an animal, for instance – maybe a cat, a monkey or even an elephant! “A little mouse I’d like to be” invites you on a journey of discovery that ends with a wonderfully versatile multi-layered “ME”. “The very first time I read and marvelled at this book, I could hear a song – or rather, a beat! It’s a book that dances and sings: try it out!” Kiri Rakete, Songwriter
ASAGAN – Searching for Lionheart
Wolfgang Hartl, Mia Kirsch, Erika Friedl
Unique illustration style
Historical adventure story
Turning back the clock – a whole 830 years!
Travel through time with the Danube Pirates and Blondel the Troubadour … meet King Richard the Lionheart, the Danube mermaid and Robin Hood! A story about strong friendships and the power of song.
The multiple prize-winning series ASAGAN combines historical stories with fictional adventures – illustrated with prints up to 500 years old and including a lexicon and music. Making history fun!
Butterfly, Make Troubles Fly!
Magda Hassan, Sonja Stangl
Animated cover
Beautifully illustrated throughout
“A book that moves. For children and adults alike.” – Dr. Udo Baer
What if worries were like sheets of paper; what if you could fold them and let them fly away? “Butterfly make troubles fly” encourages us to embrace our worries, understand them, listen to and talk about them. Constant worries can then change – like a sheet of paper when you fold it: they become softer, warmer, more colourful, lighter. Perhaps one of them will even turn out to be a guide, a companion. An artistic picture book about dealing mindfully with one’s own worries.
