Negotove pesmi
(Uncertain Poems) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
This work is a witty collection of poems for young readers in which various animals take us on a journey into the world of emotions. Both author Barbara Gregorič Gorenc and illustrator Damijan Stepančič are no strangers to anything that has to do with children (and, by extension, people). This is an imaginative journey during which we get to feel joy and sadness, anger and fear, uncertainty and courage, wildness and retreat, friendship and isolation … Playfulness and the power of art.

Comment:
The collection includes 24 poems – an introductory poem Parallels, which introduces us to the collection, and 23 poems with animals in their titles. Each animal tells us how to cope with certain uneasy, unpleasant feeling or mood. Mischievous and meaningful poems that transport us into the atmosphere, which the poet wanted to create not only through her verses, but also through illustrations, help us understand and accept the whole spectrum of our feelings and emotions. The book has received the Golden Pear Mark of Quality.
