A creative journey into the world of languages, with imaginative illustrations
Why does Lisa Litza love lollipops? What does melancholy look like, and what does it do all day? Where’s the parrot Papuga going? Who wants to carry a magic shoe and a honey sandwich in their pocket? Are these nonsense questions? Not at all! In Andrea Karimé’s poems, false cognates from 17 languages are turned into associative puns with made-up words, tongue twisters, alliterations and rhyme.
