In addition, it is a book about the discovery of colours, about the pleasure of drawing freely, about the relationship between the basic colours and their blends” (Die Zeit).

“Queen of the colours and Screamingmother are among the best works published during the last years” (Bulletin Jugend und Literatur).

“… This is a masterpiece of style, in which the illustrator makes the best of her simple, but effective and suggestive, lines. A book for all ages. (CLIJ Notebooks of Children and Young Adult’s Literature).

Laughing, cheering up, being happy… Little Emma lives and enjoy situations, states and characters which result very familiar to the youngest children.

 

 

 

“Jutta Bauer is one of the authors that understand the childhood feelings the best… This time, she has decided to show special moments and routines to deal with the topic of happiness… Seven scenarios in which this author makes it clear that laugh is the most identifying element in a child’s happiness” (SOL).

Sometimes, under some circumstances, the Little bear Emma also cries, like, for example, when mom gets angry with her or when, she doesn’t know why, the ice cream falls to the ground, or when she has to sleep with the light off. But Emma will finally find relief in her mom’s lap.

 

 

 

Jutta Bauer understands the feelings of the youngest children and makes them to share their tears and laughs with a deep sensibility and artistic ability.

In your belly, pants and nose, that sauce dirty a lot.
How good! How sweet! How fun!

What about you? What do you like best?

Emma, by Jutta Bauer:

The best bear friend for the youngest.

The deer hosts everybody in his home: the little rabbit and the little fox, and even the hunter with his dog.

Once more, Jutta Bauer offers a sample of her artistic creativity, with a caring basis. A beautiful and tender book for the youngest children.

 

 

“A Little wonder with all pages in paperboard, like picture books for the youngest of the family, but in this case it does not contain easy elements to identify, but high concepts to understand (Àngel Burgas e Ignasi Blanch, El Punt Avui)

"An interesting message of solidarity and tolerance at the youngest reader’s reach, in the shape of a beautiful story told by means of wonderful drawings and easily readable sentences” (CLIJ Magazine)

This man was also a child in the past, logically. We all were children once. He used to live with his parents in a nice apartment by then. After the school, he got a job. He used to get up early every moring to go to work. Later, this man had his own family, and that was a beautiful time. But, after that, he started to have bad luck.

"A life like any other" narrates the story of a homeless man in a very sensitive way.

The king’s secret message must be urgently taken to the neighbor kingdom and no one can do it better than the king’s messenger. However, on his way there, the messenger can’t help stopping to help the characters that he comes across with.

Once again, Jutta Bauer, awarded with the Andersen Prize 2010, tells us an apparently simple story with a solidarity background, where many different readings can be made.

“With her well defined stroke and soft colors, Jutta Bauer creates this curious story that starts in an easy way, but it takes a more complex shape as it’s developed. Because this is a story about growth, where the hero confronts new and unexpected situations, meets and interacts with unknown beings and even experiences feelings he had never felt before. But The king’s messenger also deals with the importance of narration: it seems that the king is sending his messenger to this trip only for him to gather new experiences and he can later tell him about them (…). We have in our hands a new little jewel from Jutta Bauer” (Boolino).

Christmas... What is that? It's going to be the first time that the two year old children, just like Emma, will live a conscious Christmas. How exciting! Everything is decorated, there are delicious things baking in the oven and you can hear music everywhere. What is hiding behind the doors of the advent calendar? How big is the Christmas tree? Who is that man with a red suit and a white beard? When can Emma open her presents?

We have here a new title in Emma's beautiful collection of experiences, the little bear created by Jutta Bauer's great pen.

Emma, the little bear, loves to play outside,
it doesn't matter if the day is rainy, cold or windy!
Nothing can stop her,
it is so much fun to go out!

Go with Emma, Jutta Bauer's little bear,
through the world of the littlest ones.

An outstanding picture book that narrates the unique moments of childhood, those magic moments in which you see, smell, feel, live and do things consciously and for the first time.

This book is about the wonders that can only be experienced by those who look at the world with eyes full of fascination. A book both for children and adult readers.

“The year has just started, but here it is the most beautiful book…”(Frakfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, FAZ)

 

“… By means of two poetic and subtle picture levels, the story brings back memories of happy days and full of imagination journeys, back in that time when the two main characters had no hurry and the hands of the clock were pointless for them (…). This is an exciting life journey powered by the passion of a unique artist who is able to perfectly express the spirit of freedom, emotion and purity linked to the days the main couple yearns for, rekindling the very same feelings while holding hands many years later.”(Canal Lector).

“… A book with two readings: the story of a colourless queen which has to find out the colours by herself in order to be happy. In addition, it is a book about the discovery of colours, about the pleasure of drawing freely, about the relationship between the basic colours and their blends” (Die Zeit).
