Comment:
The main character is really happy playing with his pram. Children learn that feelings, emotions, and games are not gender-related. Society must change its prejudices and stereotypes. This text is very appealling for children as it is brief and written in verse. Illustrations combine pencil and watercolour, creating attractive and different characters.
