Lullabies is woven from tender words and from delight in the small miracles that occur in everyday life. It invites us to practice evening family rituals – reading with our little ones, attentiveness and gratitude for another day spent together.
Thanks to lullabies, love can be expressed in various ways – sung, recited or whispered. Ewelina Kowalczyk- Kurzaj’s beautifully simple and delicate text brings comfort – it prepares children for a peaceful night’s sleep, and gives parents a moment to stop and reflect on what is really important. The illustrations play an equally important role: they are warm, stimulate the imagination, and are all framed in delicate colours and a Slavic ambience. The book is a wonderful gift for mums and dads who care about intimacy in their parenting.
