Malena junakinja ove priče želi pomoći mami i otići po kalup za tortu u spremište, no boji se tog mračnog prostora – toliko da se ne usuđuje čak ni ispružiti ruku da bi upalila svjetlo. No tata joj posuđuje čarobne naočale kroz koje svijet izgleda drugačije; naočale ne mijenjaju samo izgled stvari, nego onaj tko ih nosi može čuti i razumjeti životinje. Tako se djevojčica upoznaje s paukom u spremištu i s moljcem u spavaćoj sobi, a kad otvori prozor, u vrtu su lasica i noćni leptir. U razgovorima se pokazuje da naizgled simpatična bića nisu uvijek zaista simpatična – i obrnuto. Topla i vedra priča uči malenog čitatelja samopouzdanju, ali i tome da prvi dojmovi nisu uvijek pouzdani te da treba dobro upoznati bića oko sebe prije nego što se o njima donese ikakav sud.

Junakinja ove knjige ima točkice na licu, dlačice po tijelu, pojavljuje se tu i riječ „debela”, a grudi su tako malene da se jedva vide. No to nisu mane – čak i unatoč tome što u ogledalo ulijeće i „lice s naslovnice”. Jer ogledalo Agate Lučić ne poznaje koncept mane. Bez skrivanja i s neukrotivim osmijehom njezina se junakinja u njemu ogleda upravo onakva kakva jest i ne da se zastrašiti ni izvana nametnutim standardima ljepote, ni prijetećim riječima („Carnegiea gigantea”!), ni prijetećim slikama majmunske dlakavosti ili golemog tijela koje se prelijeva iz kade. Duhovitim i ekspresivnim formama autorica poziva čitateljice, u prvom redu mlade, da se i same ogledaju u ogledalu bez mana i da svoje tijelo, kakvo god bilo, prihvate s osmijehom.
Book #4457Sitna djevojčica Piccola odmalena pokazuje neobično velik talent za glazbu. Oponašajući cvrkut ptica, pucketanje vatre, zvukove vjetra i svega što je okružuje, Piccola zadivljuje slušatelje svojim čudesnim melodijama.
“Piccola con piccolo” prva je slikovnica autora Brune Mezića. Kroz dopadljiv lik djevojčice Piccole i vješte igre riječima, autor invetivno povezuje talijanski i hrvatski jezik te ukazuje na velik utjecaj talijanskog jezika na suvremenu terminologiju klasične glazbe i umjetnosti.
Likovni odgovor umjetnice Klasje Habjan maštovito i promišljeno prati tekst te izražajno zaigranim stilom oživljava mali Piccolin svijet.

Naopaka Palagruža priča je Lane Momirski o prilagodbi djevojčice Gorjane novoj sredini i promjenama koje donosi selidba. Gorjana, naime, sa svojom obitelji odlazi na Palagružu gdje joj je otac dobio posao svjetioničara. I dok joj se miješaju osjećaji razočaranja što napušta prijatelje i sredinu koju je dobro poznavala s uzbuđenjem koje prati dolazak na nepoznat i osamljen otok usred pučine, osmogodišnja djevojčica ni ne sluti da će joj ova životna epizoda pružiti nezaboravno iskustvo. Gorjana će hrabro prihvatiti nepoznato te se upustiti u istraživanje novog podneblja. Otkriti će čarobnu prirodu Palagruže, poneku tajnu koju otok skriva te sklopiti neka nova i neočekivana prijateljstva. Ilustratorica Ivana Koren Madžarac oslikala je crteže Lane Momirski bogatim morskim akvarelima koji će najmlađe čitatelje uvući u uzbudljiv otočki svijet.

This haiku collection will enchant both nature lovers and budding poets. The spare, lyrical text describes a series of short vignettes, each of them taking place in a different kind of rain, from thunderstorms to falling flower petals. The poems—some serious, some gently humorous—depict scenes from all over the globe: a horse struggling to plow a field, a father changing a tire while his children play, and two friends making up after a fight.
With its majestic artwork, this introduction to a classic poetic form will inspire readers to write their own haiku as they experience the amazing world around them.
Telling a story about a girl obsessed with flying and her (almost) magical book, the author blends fiction with facts about three Croatian inventors. In a playful way he switches between worlds: following a detail in her garden – a ladybug, a butterfly, a star – Svjetlana slides into a moment in the life of the inventor she was reading about. Subtle changes in style mark every transition into the world of inventors’ drawings, imaginatively expanding the space of the girl’s home and family.

Pepe is a very curious meerkat. He knew the animals and the plants, and everything that surrounded him and was within his reach, but it was not enough.
One day the Earth seemed too small for his great curiosity and a new world opened for him when he looked up at the sky.
The author tells us in this first book of the saga of Pepe, the meerkat, a tender story about the enigmatic universe of which we are all part.
A double debut: the renowned poet first time writing for children, a young artist first time illustrating a picture book. They tell a fairy tale about three brothers set to find a better place than their own, with subtle political subtext (there is a dragon at home who has to be dealt with). The illustrator finds original equivalents for all dimensions of the text, and manages even to imbed some citations from XX century art (Matisse, Hokney), thus enlarging the visual world of youngest readers.
Book #3346
Kao što već njegov naslov sugerira, ovaj je strip album čitav sagrađen oko izmjene godišnjih doba te sitnih dogodovština koje se uz njih vežu. Njegovi protagonisti – hrvatskoj publici dobro poznata ali zagonetna Zlatka, ribolovac i svemirski putnik Key te njegov galeb Yek, prepuštaju se gradnji snjegovića zimi, novim ljubavima u proljeće, skokovima u more ljeti, melankoliji ujesen. Oko tih dobro poznatih motiva Krešimir Zimonić plete profinjenu lirsku mrežu, gotovo uvijek utemeljenu u sugestiji: on nudi tek fragment događaja, bljesak uvida u raspoložen ja likova, nekad ironične, a nekad gotovo filozofske autorske izjave. Time nastaje bogat tekstualni predložak koji nikako nije ograničen na izmjenu replika likova – u Zimonićevom albumu progovaraju razni glasovi: nekad prirodne pojave, nekad obijesni galeb, a nekad sam pripovjedač. Ništa manje virtuozno nije izveden ni likovni pandan takvoj spisateljskoj tehnici: Zimonić se igra različitim stilovima, od gotovo impresionističkih kolorističkih rješenja do kolaža i likovnih referenci na popularnu kulturu. Tako nastaje bogata cjelina nekonvencionalnog sadržaja u kojoj se neprimjetno pretapaju male avanture, lirska raspoloženja i apstraktna razmišljanja o vremenu.
Book #2923
The picture book “Quince” tells a fantastic story about four friends who, during the summer holidays, cross the stream near the village where they live, although it’s forbidden. On the other side, however, they find neither “trolls, nor bogeymen, nor tusk-owners, nor dragon’s nests”; they encounter creatures that are almost the same as humans but live in forest dwellings. One of them, the boy Quince (with the word for apple in his name), will make friends with the four children and will reveal to them the secrets of the forests. The author of the text, Lana Momirski, intertwined a number of motives in this framework story: some of the friends will move to a bigger city after the school holidays, and the central heroine will have to learn to deal with parting; playing with Quince, children will learn to respect nature and all its creatures; the forest world will become a kind of refuge, but also a space from which the problems of reality and personal existence can be seen more clearly. Subtle watercolors, by Ivana Koren Madžarac and Lana Momirski, evoke to the young reader all the liveliness, warmth and diversity of this mysterious forest world.
Book #3342
As a paper boat is floating carelessly on a city fountain, it is suddenly stirred by something that fell into it. The intruder turns out to be a cockchafer that couldn’t learn to fly. The two gentle creatures – the little boat that could so easily sink and the little bug that doesn’t fly – very quickly become inseparable friends. While floating on the fountain, they protect each other from little dangers and explore their surroundings that seem marvelous to them: balloons fly over their heads, people come to the fountain to toss coins into it and dream of luck, fireflies come to light up the night. And when real peril arises, it turns out that the little boat and the cockchafer have, along their way, already made friends who are ardent to save them. Sanja Lovrenčić thus creates a lyrical story about fragileness and the magic that resides in the world’s details which is accompanied by aquarelle illustrations of an almost minimalist quality by Mingsheng Pi.
