    which we’re not used to touching.

  • There is interaction between the reader and the illustration.

    in pieces of wood related to nature.

The jury’s opinion

Maitojoki (The Milk River) - Katja Meriluoto - Finland

Strong points:

  • This is a strong, solid book.
  • The image of the water with the bubbles is original.
  • The story is interesting and starts straight away.

Points to improve:

  • The materials are too identical, with lots of felt-tip pens.
    It makes reading more difficult.
  • There are too many visual elements that make it
    difficult to understand the plot by touch.
  • It lacks a story.
  • The surface of the pages is not different enough images.
  • Watch out for the safety pearls in brackets.
