A wonderful book for families thinking about taking a break 'You are doing exactly right,' the doctor announced, "put as many stimuli as possible into this child. Shoot Pauli full of everything you can. There is not too much, she will save everything and have to fall back on it at some point. And then she will thank you and herself too. His words float above everything. They justify the depletion of savings just as much as Christmas in Disneyland and New Year's Eve in Fiji. When, if not now? What are you waiting for?' In order to show the blind Pauli the world, the family of five of Josefine Gauck (granddaughter of Joachim Gauck) takes a sabbatical and goes on a one-year journey around the world. 'Let's see' stands for the family's intention to show the five-year-old daughter as much as possible: pictures, colours, memories, encounters, because no one knows how quickly the girl's eyesight, which is about 7% at the start of the journey, will deteriorate. 'Let's see' is also the motto when it comes to uncertain situations and everyday questions of the children on the way - for example, where to sleep at night or where the journey will take them the next day. In order to keep to the budget and get an authentic picture of the country and its people, the family discovers life in a camper, works on organic farms and looks after houses with pets. In Canada, the USA, New Zealand, Australia and Bali, they immerse themselves in the lives of other people. Pauli and her brothers experience the freedom in the treetops of a Canadian climbing forest and discover how soft goat udders feel when milked. In a rousing and sensitive way, the author tells of the realization of the trip, the potential of a life-changing diagnosis and the challenges of traveling as a family. A trip around the world, a diagnosis and the chance to create memories for life Josefine Gauck puts the romantic idea of road trips in the right light and also humorously reflects on the challenge of having to meet the needs of three children between the ages of five and twelve 24/7 for a year. 'Let's see' is more than just a travelogue; it is a stirring and authentic story about how a family realises their dreams and actively shapes their lives. In addition, Josefine Gauck shows in a touching and hopeful way how a life-changing diagnosis of a child can become an opportunity rather than a crisis. Contagious and impressive, it conveys the strength of the journey and how the five of them as a family survive this great adventure together. How we thought we had to show our daughter the world, and realized that we needed it much more ourselves.
