And Then the Head Explodes
And Then the Head Explodes
Text and Illustration by Christina Röckl
What would you reply if asked, “What is the soul?” And if you asked a child? How would a child explain a term we adults have tried to define in a thousand smart books?
In cooperation with children, illustrator Christina Röckl created texts which she collected and translated into striking images. Thus, an abstract idea becomes a picture book for adults invented by children – original, delightful, and deeply moving.
