Renata Liwska

    This author imbues her work with personal experience, drawing on a strong artistic foundation cultivated in both Poland and Canada. Her illustrations are deeply autobiographical, requiring an emotional connection to her subjects and incorporating personal history wherever possible. Her creative process centers on sketching within numerous portable notebooks, which serve as intimate spaces for her characters and worlds to unfold. Finding a quiet, dedicated space is crucial for her to enter the right creative mindset, often involving walks to sketch outdoors and establish her unique artistic world.

      Was wäre, wenn du deinen Geburtstag verschlafen würdest? Was wäre, wenn du zwischen unzähligen Eissorten wählen müsstest? Was, wenn du dich verlaufen hättest? Was wäre, wenn du einen Samen verschlucktest? Oder wenn die Fantasie mit dir durchginge? Was wäre, wenn alle zusammenarbeiten würden? Und was, wenn jeder teilen würde? Renata Liwskas bezaubernde Bilder und ihre vergnüglichen bis nachdenklich stimmenden Fragen regen die Fantasie an und bieten wunderbare Gesprächsanlässe für zu Hause und im Kindergarten.

      When the wild geese migrate over the little pond with its pink flamingos and clipped grass, Skylar and the others watch with envy. They like their pond, but there is something elegant and brave about being a real wild goose. But they?ve never flown before, and besides, there?s never been a reason to go. Then a lost heron wants the pond geese to take him to Lost Pond, and Skylar thinks it?s time for this motley crew to spread their wings and try out the great blue yonder. Adventure awaits . . . but, as they?ll soon find out, so does great danger. At once charming and funny, full of friendship, hardship, and bravery, this is a beautifully told story about leaving home to experience the world. With delightful black-and-white illustrations, and hints of Charlotte?s Web and The Tale of Despereaux , this is a book in the tradition of fine children?s literature.
