“I live in a building that is seven stories high. Every floor has a slightly different door. The first door has a lot of locks. That apartment belongs to a family of thieves. They just love ancient Egyptian artifacts. The second door is always surrounded by muddy footprints. That is the home of an old hunter and his pet tiger.” A delightful journey up a building and through the imagination of a young girl who imagines who her neighbours are just from the look of their front door. With every page comes a new world of endless details and surprises. Winner of the 2017 Hapinkas Award.
