Wann kommt Mama?
A picture book from Korea
Translated from Korean by Andreas Schirmer
NordSüd, Zürich, 2007
40 pages, CHF 24.80 / EUR 13,80
ISBN 978-3-314-01535-9
ages 3 and up
With no sense for time, a child is waiting at the tram stop, and wants to know when his mother will arrive. Trams come and go. It begins to snow. With a red nose, the child stands his ground against the wind – and finally the mother comes. The contemporary illustrator has combined an Asian pictorial tradition with his own handwritten text to present a story originally written in the 1930s in clear, poetically charged images.
