Abstract

This book, which was written exactly a decade ago, is read in one breath, and the pages in front of us easily change as we meet Lea and her immediate and extended family, with imaginary and real friends. However, long after the end of the last page, we are left with an undefined feeling of powerlessness, but also of a newly discovered force, contradictory feelings of what we have missed in the growth of our own children, but also what is within our reach, so tomorrow we can to do it. To break away from the whirlpool of pulsating events and stop, to find space to build and grow our own land of stories. The writer and poetess for children and adults, Biljana Stankovska, managed to convey all this to us in only a hundred pages.
