“Sola” begins with the narration of a dream in luminous shapes and colours: a house in which light shines in every corner, surrounded by a flowering garden – a utopian place of refuge, communal togetherness and a life in harmony with nature. But like in a moment of awakening, the harmonious ideal breaks against a reality that offers neither security nor confidence. It is a reality in which crises like climate change threaten the fragile balance of the environment and call the certainties of our everyday lives into question.

In her new book, Malwine Stauss uses radiant watercolours to create a deeply personal insight into an emotional world shaped by the tensions, fears and hopes of our present time. With multi-layered graphic compositions that are abstract and accessible at the same time, “Sola” offers an expressive visual language that invites us to pause for thought.

Loosely and yet meaningfully, Alice Socal describes the experiences of her pregnancies in an interplay of irony and perplexity. Combining text and image, she organizes her doubts, fears, expectations and wonders of this special time. In the leading roles: a cat as alter ego, a dog as boyfriend and a seal as the pregnancy itself.
“Wie lange noch” is documentary and reflection at the same time. The narrative in comic form proves to be the perfect medium, both for the humorous contemplation of personal insights and for the analysis of identity issues between desire and reality – as woman, partner, artist and mother-to-be.

Boris the Potato Child is the son of Aglaé, the former queen of the land of Marylène. Like a tyrant he rules over his household and his mother, whom he henceforth calls Bubble. Together with Sabine, a vengeful warrior French fry, he reforms the country’s military and self-government to further consolidate his authority. In peaceful Marylène, nothing will ever be the same again …

“Boris, das Kartoffelkind” delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses, wrapped up in a dramatic story with extraordinary characters. Mixing world history, literature, and pop culture from the myths of classical antiquity to the Beatles and Simone de Beauvoir, Anne Simon has created in Marylène a world of abundant visual imagination.

Mina and her father live in a hollowed-out tree stump next to a pond on the edge of a forest. Mina lives in her own little world where nothing ever bothers her, until one day, her father brings home a suspicious surprise from the woods. Should Mina trust her father—or listen to her own instincts?

From the creator of the acclaimed and beloved picture book “Pokko and the Drum” comes an emotionally resonant story about trust, worry, and loyalty between a daughter and her father.
