These short and seemingly simple poems are multilayered and charged with metaphor. The thematically diverse poetic glimpses take us from idyllic images and love to anger, depression and despair. The poet is an advocate for the child and its emotions - all of them legitimate. A bold collection of poetry that is not afraid of serious subjects.
The illustrations of Damijan Stepančič are full of metaphors and symbolism that surprise the reader, stir his imagination and give a parallel insight. In this way, the illustrator opens up the poems, and the illustrations, together with the text, create an interwoven and solid whole of the emotional states described. The book was nominated for the Levstik Prize for text and illustrations. Both authors are among the best Slovenian children's authors.
