Emil, Sass ja kivimutukad
English title: Emil, Sass and the Painted Stone Bugs
Written and illustrated by Tiiu KitsikKoolibri, 202232 pages, hard cover
Emil and Sass are sitting on a stone, bored, wondering what there is to do when you have no money. Emil seizes on a half-joking idea of Sass’s and the two of them decide to start selling stones. What begins as very nearly an absurd notion turns, step by careful step, into a reasonable little business.
A sincere and funny book that could pass for a beginner’s handbook on going into business, while keeping to the fine traditions of the old children’s story.
