What lead to the foundation of SunChildGarden?

Everything started on a train ride. While sitting in the dining-car, I witnessed children engaging their mother in deeply touching questions on life and its existence. Some of these questions included:

“Why does the sun shine?”

“Why can’t we see the wind?”

“Where does all the water come from?”

“Why does grass grow on earth?”

While the mother struggled to answer her children’s questions, I realized how difficult it was for me, too, to find explanations. And while the children’s questions echoed in my mind, I thought … well, yes, how did our world actually come into existence?

I tried to think of similarities pertaining to all people, no matter how different their cultures. What connects people after all, what are the basics they need to lead their daily lives? – The story with the working title “CAN YOU TELL ME how the world came to be?” was born.

Every existing structure, be it tiny or huge, requires a certain degree of intelligence to be erected. How much thinking is necessary for us human beings to organize a day?

I contemplated the mountains, the meadows, the fields and the sea with all their wonders, I savoured the first rays of sunlight of a nascent day and contemplated the starry sky at night. And doing so, I asked myself what spirit might have created all this.

Every culture has its own answer to this question and so there are different names for the creator – for me, it is called GOD.

And so, the story was called “Can you tell me where God really lives?”.

I approached various publishing companies, but it soon became clear to me that my story, along with the characters involved, would definitely undergo a major adaption to economic demands.

And this was the moment the publishing house SunChildGarden Christoph Wolf was born: July 16, 2008.
