Bella and the Lost Ball
One lost ball. And so many adjectives to describe it . . .
Wanted: a beautiful ball. What does it look like? How many adjectives will Bella need to describe her ball, so that her friends can visualize it properly and help her find it? And will she even succeed?
The sun is lovely and warm, so Bella runs outside to play with her ball. But where has it rolled to? With the help of a butterfly, Mitzi the cat, Ally the dog and an inquisitive bunny hopping around the garden, will Bella be able to find it?
Katerina Svozilova is an author of children’s books and an illustrator. She lives with her artist husband in a little house on the edge of the forest. They have a parrot called Oscar and several cats. Deer and hares graze in our garden, which is also visited by foxes, jays and spotted woodpeckers. As mother to four children and grandmother to two grandkids, she gets plenty of inspiration.
Mag Takac was born into the family of a painter and a graphic designer, so perhaps she had no choice but to follow in their footsteps . . . She likes most to illustrate books with animals and children in the main roles. It gives her great joy to watch kids’ eyes light up with delight as they turn the pages of a book she's worked on.
