Lauras Stern: A girl and her best friend inspire young and old

Heunec - February 2021

When seven-year-old Laura finds a wounded star one evening and lovingly nurses it back to health, it is the beginning of a magical friendship. It is now 24 years since Klaus Baumgart's delightful stories found their way into children's rooms as children's books; today, Laura's sometimes funny, sometimes serious adventures are not only an integral part of the evening ritual of countless families as bedtime stories: Laura and her star also provide lasting great enthusiasm as a TV series, in numerous movies and live events such as plays and shows. The special thing about these children's stories is that Laura's experiences are close to everyday life; the girl deals with the same issues as normal children. The only difference is that Laura has a star as her best friend, who again helps her find the right solutions to her problems, gives her courage and stands by her. Children can identify with Laura, recognize themselves in the stories and can learn a lot from the stories and actions.

Heunec has been a successful licensing partner for many years and brings the two protagonists of the popular children's stories and series home to cuddle with the plush collection "Laura's Stern". The trusted manufacturer of high-quality plush from Upper Franconia presents Laura as a 30 cm tall, soft doll with a lovingly embroidered face and hair made of wool. She wears her famous bathrobe and iconic plaid slippers, making her instantly recognizable to children. The soft polyester batting filling makes the doll especially cuddly and cozy. Her friend, the star, accompanies in the small version of 10 cm as a keychain everywhere, or invites as a large cuddly pillow with 45 cm small and large children to cuddle. Of course, the plush star also has the iconic band-aid on one prong, which Laura uses to make it whole again when they first meet.
