I Love Manne
I Love Manne
Pija Lindenbaum, illustrated by Pija LindenbaumThe people might be small but the feelings are enormous.
Pija Lindenbaum allows strong feelings to well up when three boys fight for each other’s attention in the sandpit. There is a lot to like about Manne:
His granny
Or his bucket.
Yes, even his silly putty!
But when “the boy” turns up, it’s not so much fun any more. Manne only wants to play with “the boy”.
Even though the people in this book are little, the feelings are strong. Pija Lindenbaum is an author and illustrator with an ability to allow the illustrations to tell the story beyond the words. Here a story of few words is told, about love for a big boy, fear of another and gratitude for a dog that turns up just at the right moment.
