Flooded : Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023

SOLD OUT

街は、いつもの夏の日と同じように、目を覚ましました。
けれども何かが違いました。
特に問題はなかったけれど……、
街は、ちょっと……、
水たまりが広がっていました！
少しくらい水がひろがっても、誰も気にしません。長ぐつをはく良い口実になったくらい！

動物たちの街に広がった水たまり。
最初は、だれもがそんな状況を楽しんでいました。
けれども、だんだんと水位が上がってきて……。

いろいろな動物たちが大きな水たまりのなかで、どんなふうに過ごしていくのでしょう。
それぞれ違っていて、何度読んでも楽しい絵本です。

Description
Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023Flooded is the funny and beautifully illustrated tale of animals who live in a city that is ever so slowly flooding. The flood comes gradually at first. All the animals ignore the obvious and go about their busy lives, disjointed from one another and preoccupied by their own problems.

Eventually, the flood water reaches a height that they can no longer ignore and they have to work together to save their city. All the animals join together in a line and pull out the plug that is drowning the city. This is an exceptionally illustrated story that teaches a message not to let problems fester and with a little team work and community spirit, no problem is insurmountable.
