        The Moon is Like a Golden Boat

        by Juhani Püttsepp, Gundega Muzikante

        White Raven 2021Every time Keete looks at pictures from her childhood where she’s holding her teddy bear Pätsu in her lap, she wonders what life would have been like without war. Her parents would certainly have been able to keep working as teachers without living in terror of the communists deporting them to Siberia. The whole family could have spent nights without having to hurry to the bomb shelter or see their precious hometown in ruins. In peacetime, she could have kept living on the second floor of their cherry-red home instead of setting off on a harrowing journey across the Baltic Sea to Sweden. Years and years later, Keete thinks about how lucky today’s kids are to grow up without war. And she still cradles Pätsu in her arms – a teddy bear who helped her get through life’s perils.

        The Potato’s Kingdom

        by Helena Koch, Anne Pikkov

        There sure is a lot going on in auntie Tiia's vegetable patch! The cauliflower's deepest desire is to get married, the carrots are solving the mystery of the baby carrots, the onion wants to become a stand-up comedian and the tiny pea is crying her eyes out from loneliness. The chili and the bell pepper cannot figure out who is related to whom, the pumpkin growing in the far corner yearns for a more central position, the radish however does not want to become a salad, but to go on a round-the-world trip. It's no wonder that the potato who rules over this kingdom is completely exhausted by the autumn.

        Do Color Outside the Lines! - The Splodge Book

        by Írisz Agócs

        This book is about the most important and most indispensable element of creation, the creative impulse, and how to preserve this impulse, letting go of all the blocking and inhibiting phrases that hinder free experimentation in the children's drawing and painting.In the book you will find so-called "free-flowing pages" for free play and experiment with single paint splatters or as a big coherent picture, and pairs of pages where the reader can create their own little creatures in a jungle, a sea or even in urban traffic.And the reward for those brave enough to draw the pages will be a special and unique volume, the only one of its kind in the world.
