Big Monsters Don’t Cry (2006)
The stories tell of two close, but very different friends: the Big Monster and the Little Monster. Through simple stories about their doings – climbing a mountain, visiting a sick friend, going fishing – the series focuses on human relations and situations which all children face at some time. The simple narrations and powerful illustrations of the series open up a wonderful world of stories for children and parents alike.
