SUZY AND THE LOST SLEEP

written by  Reeli Reinaus and illustrated by Marge Nelk

“I can’t sleep,” said Suzy, as she stepped into the living room. She had spent the past hour trying to fall asleep, but for some reason she just couldn’t. Maybe this was because she was the only one in the family who had to go to sleep this early – but then again, no one else in the family was four years old or went to daycare. “Count sheep!” answered her father.

A powerful and deep story about sleep, tales and family interaction. Hardback / 230 x 230 / 32 pages / Paike ja Pilv

The Visit

written by Anti Saar and illustrated by Anna Ring

A boy, who lost a grandmother in spring, decides to visit his grandfather when autumn comes. There are many apples in the grandfathers garden. A moment before taking a bite, he spots a hole with a small worm, who asks him to follow. You will find several holes in this book marking the route of this worm through memories. Numbers by the holes help the reader to find the way through. It’s a real labyrinth that is designed into the book and you can go through it (solve it). It’s like a memorial maze.
