How is it possible to live together when their
needs are so different?
This story is about friendship, growing up, and
change. The players are quirky characters who present strong messages. These
filter through a deceptively simple story that reflects on how opposites
attract, and how the strangest people can become the best of friends.
It is also about problem-solving and compromise;
how a complex issue can be resolved with discussion, especially when all
parties offer their point of view. It’s a perfect example for children (and
adults) when difference of opinion is an issue.
One
House for All is another excellent translation from Latvia with
Book Island’s usual impressive high quality production and presentation. Juris
Petraskevics’ lavish illustrations are created using contrasts of dark and
vivid colours that fill the pages with mystery through shadow and light.
