Shirley Parenteau Knihy
Táto autorka znovu objavuje čaro detského písania, pričom jej diela sú ovplyvnené hlbokou láskou k rodine. Jej obrazy medvedíkov, ktorí si nachádzajú priateľov po celom svete, sú plné hravosti a pôvabu, čo dokazuje ich medzinárodná obľúbenosť, najmä v Japonsku. S novým projektom pre staršie deti autorka skúma témy priateľstva a kultúrneho prepojenia, čerpajúc inšpiráciu z historických udalostí a krásy medzinárodných vzťahov. Jej tvorba vyžaruje teplo, nádej a hlboké porozumenie detskému svetu i zložitosti medziľudských väzieb.
