Mom Giraffe and other Monsters
Alexandra Salmela
Saša Salmela's crazy fairy tales are never enough and never become ordinary.
21 short fairy tales, in which the writer Alexandra Salmela describes in catching fantastic stories the troubles of children coping with sometimes incomprehensible world of the adults. Martina Matlovičová, well-known young illustrator, adds to the stories her lively pictures, which give children's imagination the space to move forward a bit more. The book is being published in the same time in Slovakia and in Finland – in two publishing houses and two languages – because Alexandra Salmela is a slovak author living and raising her children in Finland.
The stories present a little bit crazy situations. For example a dad is turned into a magnetic knight and all that is from metal is attracted to him. Or a mom turns into giraffe and the kids glide on her neck. Or on the other hand good mom is replaced by a boring mom, that has no time to play. Crazy stories with all kinds of heroes will make all the children smile and laugh and will open up their fantasy and imagination.
