de and Katta live in a nice place with a pool and potatoes aplenty. All is great. One day there’s a big stone in the pool and the vegetable garden has dried up. They’re forced to set sail for the open seas in order to find a new place to live. When they finally spot the shoreline they’re met on the beach by three dogs. Could this really become their new spot? Through words and pictures Pija Lindenbaum narrates psychological dramas with a keen eye and in her unmistakably original tone, child’s perspective and humour. In Poodles and Potatoes small, big and serious perspectives on being a refugee intersect. Pija Lindenbaum POODLES AND POTATOES Lilla Piratförlaget Rights: Lilla Piratförlaget 36
