WHAT I LEARNED BEFORE I STARTED SCHOOL (MOREOVER, I DID IT ON MY OWN)

In a short story, the future first grader gives wittily shaped answers (like the ones in newspaper articles that talk about the Five Ways to…) to the 10 most important children’s questions about the world and life. How did mom and dad meet? Or what did the world before him look like?

“… an exceptional, well-written and illustrated picture book that simultaneously counts on an autonomous children’s reader, but also adults interested in children’s perspective. Recognizable flat illustrations by Vanda Čižmek with pronounced contours, which seem to enliven geometric figures, with their objectivity on the edge of abstraction in the footsteps follow and visually upgrade the independent logic of a self-taught preschooler, achieving a literal symbiosis with the text.
