These cards were not designed at a desk. Christian Gronau and Aileen Douglas live in a remote cabin on the Canadian coast. Raccoons visit daily.
The set consists of 55 photo cards showing how these animals behave: investigating, playing, resting, eating. Gronau photographed them in their natural environment, without embellishment.
Each photograph shows a raccoon in a recognisable situation. Some images are playful, others quieter. The photographs are sharp and printed full-colour on sturdy cardstock with rounded corners.
The cards contain no text. This makes them usable for anyone who does not read German. The guidebook, which is in German, describes background information about the raccoons and how the photographs came to be.
Many people pick up the set for storytelling exercises, or as a conversation starter with children. The images are concrete enough to build a story around, without carrying a fixed meaning.
In therapy and coaching they are used to make feelings or situations easier to discuss. The raccoon as an animal brings associations with resourcefulness and adaptability, but that need not be the starting point.
Draw a card blindly and describe what the raccoon is experiencing in that moment. No right or wrong, just notice what you see.
Christian Gronau is a geologist. He moved from Germany to Canada and built a life there with Aileen Douglas, close to nature. The raccoons they photographed for this set visit their cabin regularly.
Gronau works from an ecological interest. He wants to show how wild animals behave when they are not disturbed.
Do I need to read German to use these cards?
No. The cards themselves contain no text. The guidebook is in German, but mainly describes background about the photographs and the raccoons. For use with stories or conversations, this is not necessary.
Are the cards sturdy enough for children?
Yes. The cardstock is thick and the corners are rounded. The cards are made for intensive use, including in classrooms or groups.
