A new picture book by two important and popular creators of works for young people Slavko Pregl (1945) and Marjan Manček (1948) are assuredly two of the most important and popular creators of works for children and young people. Their works are full of humour and compassion for all living creatures. In this book we learn about Taras, an ordinary boy who learns the miraculous power of greeting from his grandfather. Every child, and every adult as well, can see themselves in Slavko Pregl’s stories from everyday life.
Manček’s illustrations are fresh and full of unconventional storytelling in every new book, so we eagerly await the unfolding of the story.
