My Father's Arms Are a Boat

(1) K-3 Translated by Kari Dickson. Illustrated by Øyvind Torseter. A little boy asks his father if Mommy will ever wake up again. Honest, but gently changing the subject, the father replies, "No, not where she is now. Should we go out and look at the stars?" A quiet, intimate text and enigmatic paper-collage and ink illustrations make a world of their own that commends interest beyond the therapeutic.
