Výkladový slovník – Stehlíková Olga (2023)

Sometimes one sentence is worth more than an entire chapter. ***** Mom, stuffed animal, ball, snow, home… What words can capture and describe a child's world? What is important to a small person when they are, say, four? What from their surroundings will etch itself into their memory as a key recollection? And what color and mood will it have? ***** Poet and prose writer Olga Stehlíková has compiled a poetic Explanatory Dictionary intended for children and their adults. One double page, one entry, one illustration. And behind that lies a whole world of emotions, details, memories, and associations. Some entries will make you slap your forehead: How come I didn't think of that before?! Others will warm you with a pleasant memory. But all of them will provide you with topics for reflection and conversation. Not to mention that you and your children might start looking at ordinary things a little differently. ***** The watercolor collages by Michaela Casková add another dimension to the book. Some are spare and minimalist, while others overflow with life and details, because after all, "all treasures are in the soil."
