Review: 9 Little People by Regina Feldmann and illustrated by Martina Stuhlberger

A heartwarming celebration of friendship, family, and the beauty of growing up together.

9 Little People by Regina Feldmann is a caring and uplifting picture book that captures the magic of childhood and the power of community. Told in pleasing rhymes, the story follows nine children born on the same day who share their lives—from everyday adventures to major milestones—with warmth, love, and laughter.

What makes this book truly special is its message: that belonging comes from both what we share and what makes us unique. Each child is lovingly portrayed with their own personality and background, offering young readers a gentle introduction to themes of diversity, acceptance, and togetherness.

The vibrant illustrations compliment the lyrical storytelling. Every page is filled with joyful detail that invites children to explore, connect and imagine their own circles of friendship. A delightful read that would be a good fit for different reading settings that include bedtime or story time. The ideal range for this book is ages 4-8.
