Opposites
OppositesSame and Alike, but Contrary
Mia Nilsson, illustrated by Mia NilssonWhat is the opposite? Same and alike, but contrary! Tall – short, fast – slow, dry – wet. In Mia Nilsson’s world, the pairs of opposites hold so much more than the reader might
initially think. Birds on the run, Olle who picks blueberries and an ice cream queue that is seemingly endless. Short, witty texts that have drawn inspiration from haiku poetry, and illustrations that almost seem to explode from the pages depict small moments where the opposites take the story in unexpected directions.
