Klara is a little girl who loves to help. Her father works as an underground train driver. One day when he is ill, Klara decides to drive the train for him. She does a great job and makes sure all the passengers are comfortable and arrive at their destinations in time. By the end of the day she is very proud of herself, but also a bit disappointed. Does nobody appreciate her efforts?

Let me help is a warm book about seeing other people’s needs, and about being seen and appreciated for the work you do, regardless of whether you are a child or an adult.
