Strom / The Tree
A patulous story about the terrible Blöeglöek and the Princess who had everything.
by Alexandra Salmela
Description
An illustrated book for school and pre-school children and -- thanks to its ethical and ecological message -- also for their parents. The allegory about human dead-end thinking and greediness introduces an adventurous as well as an eco-philosophical level. Martina Matlovičová, winner of the Golden Apple at the BIB 2009, illustrated the book. Mária Rojko was its graphic designer.
