Even after the collapse of the GDR regime , the popular book continued to be published. The rights are held by the Beltz publishing house / Der Kinderbuchverlag (Weinheim), which has now published its 16th edition (as of June 2017).

reception
“The classic story of encouragement first appeared in 1963 - and has quickly become an absolute favorite picture book. In the new edition, too, she convinces with the reduced, concise illustrations, lots of humor in detail and a lovable hero with whom not only anxious children will identify. Definitely (re) discover!
