Emotions! We can all recognize ourselves and we all know - big and small - how a small incident can turn into big drama.
Dream duo Lotta Olsson and Emma Adbåge are now creating a pair of picture books about emotions and with titles that say exactly what they are about: SAD which will be released in 2020 and GLAD , which will be released the following year.
SORRY takes place at a preschool. One of the children discovers how one of her friends takes her beloved stuffed animal. The drama builds, we can follow it in the rhythm and words of the text and in images where body language, facial expressions and movements are sometimes clear, sometimes subtle. And we breathe a sigh of relief when the reconciliation comes at the end.
With ingenious precision, without a single superfluous word or stroke of the pen, Lotta Olsson and Emma AdBåge convey the girl's growing despair and the interaction between children and adults. The plot, environment and characters are chiseled down to the smallest detail - absolutely magical!
SORRY is a picture book to read over and over again and to talk about together. A future classic!
