PICTURE BOOK
It was the first time for me to have such a quiet night. Unable to sleep, I went out into the garden in my father's arms. Is Akai Tori sleeping? Does a fox eat bread? A story of loss, love and healing woven with fantastic pictures and serene words. [Winner of "The Most Beautiful Book" of Northern Norway] A quiet night never before. The boy who cannot sleep is held in his father's arms and begins to ask questions. About birds. About foxes. Whether or not his mother wakes up. Two people go out and look at the starry sky. A shooting star momentarily appears in his arms like a boat. Listening to the father's answers, the boy calms his heart. "It's all right." "Really?" "Oh, really." This book is full of quiet strength and ties between parents and children, overcoming anxiety and loneliness with fantastic artwork and serene text incorporating cut paper. "It expresses overflowing emotions in a minimal way. Text and pictures complement each other to create a rich and complex whole with fine details. It is stimulating, instructive and poetic." -- Best Picture Book Award of the Norwegian Agency for Cultural Affairs.
