She is from the “Agency for Families Who are in over Their Heads”, declares the petite woman who introduces herself as the new nanny at the apartment door of the baffled Julius Sommerfeld. After some hesitation, the father of four allows this strange person in a yellow overcoat with suitcase and beehive to come in. And with her, magic enters the lives of the Sommerfelds, a family that has been known since the death of Mrs. Sommerfeld as “half-family Sommerfeld”. Frau Honig can make carpets fly and flowers grow. She talks to the bees who have taken up residence on the rooftop garden. She is also the only one who can see the invisible friend of the youngest son Hugo: a cat named Tiger. With “Und plötzlich war Frau Honig da” Sabine Bohlmann began her successful, fanciful series about an unusual nanny who, in the tradition of Mary Poppins, always finds something special in the quotidian.
