Perzeus a Andromeda

A mosaic of Gorgona Meduza's haunted head with snakes instead of hair, one of which is held by Perseus, but we can only see his hand. One half of the face is alive, the other is dead. According to the famous ancient myth, we should turn to stone if we look at it.

Bola raz jedna láska

On the left side, a narrow strip with the names of the author and illustrator, the title of the book. The cover is filled with four individual title words, each in a new line below: Once – upon – a – love. The effect is in the game of letters – pictures on the theme of love: for example, O represents the love face of a girl with braids, A is a boy in love with headphones on his ears, or N a man and a woman holding hands.

Kuk do knižky

A little girl in a coat and winter hat with a broom as big as her head puts her hands on her face with amazement. How colourful and beautiful our world is! Next to her are scared ladybug and kind- hearted mouse in winter attire. A bird is greeting a gossipy lizard; curious ants march over their heads.

Strom života

Between draped cloth, or better to say, a curtain with symmetrical ornamentation, we can see the centre of a tree, from its roots to the crown, the trunk is firmly hugged by a spring of water – a source of life. The stars shine in the crown of the tree and flowers smell beautifully.
