The STORY:
Each year, there ist the „Festival oft the
Donkey-Ear“ on the island of Le Sél: with grey , stubborn animals, prickly
balloons, professors of emotion and lots and of books and tales. The book is
about reading, donkeys, dog-ears, donkey-ears and of course very much about
love. Sandro does not really like Sanja. She is much to clever and most of all,
she is a girl. But the prickly balloon likes Sanja all the more. Unfortunately,
he cannot talk and tell her…
This book combines three artistic fields:
1.
The text (Peter Bosch) combines
realistic with imaginative elements, everything is familiar and yet a bit
different, out of place.
2.
The illustrations (Alexandra
Bolzer) evolve from the story, complement the story elaborately and take you by
surprise with a diversity of different styles and materials.
3.
The typography (Nele Focke) has
its autonomous role, makes references to the illustrations and the text as well
and so creates an additional visual and aesthetic layer.
Why should you support this
project?
Everybody who can still
remember how inspiring childrens' books can be and how much pedagogical value
good children's literature has, should support this project.
What happens with the funds after successful
financing?
We need about 4500 Euro to fund a bilingual version: If we recieve this amount of money we will translate
the original german book in a bilingual version (german / english), fund the printing costs and the new layout.
If we do not get the hole costs supported, we will use the money for advertising the german version e.g on the Frankfurter Buchmesse in October 14.
if you have any questions, do
not hesitate to contact
us!
