In Britta Teckentrup‘s own inimitable style, she has created another beautifully bold and highly poignant read.
We follow the loveable Oskar as he explores the world around him and it’s some of the simplest things in life that he loves and appreciates.
Stunningly executed, with a clean and engaging composition, this book acts as a gentle reminder as to what is really important in our lives.
From ‘soft green grass‘ to losing himself in books and not forgetting ‘his favourite pebble‘ Oskar loves all of these things and more.
With minimal but powerful text we learn what Oskar loves and it ultimately begs the question “What do you love?”
The answers to this question would definitely provide food for thought having first read this text.
Using simple shapes to create a characterful crow, paired with a prominent palette, Teckentrup has once again delivered a hard-hitting book with a powerful message but in an understated and completely creative technique.
This superbly striking picture book with a deceptive simplicity has become synonymous to Britta.
She has a knack of delivering expressive illustrations full of character, texture, movement and ultimately love and this has it in abundance.
