A boat floats on the blue sea, manned by captain Adrijan, fearless and spirited Rumi the dog and lap cat Aba. In this children’s poem, Saša Pavček, an artist of many talents, takes us on an exciting literary journey across the stormy waters of courage, ardour and playfulness. Rumi the dog – a heroine of our time – saves the lives of war victims, cleans the earth and sings. With Rumi and the Captain, Pavček has written an ode to peace, humanity and courage that is bursting with life and love towards fellow man and creature. Written as a whimsical sea adventure, the poem touches on issues such as pollution and the ongoing refugee crisis along with the overall lack of empathy associated therewith.
