However, as with her other work, it is the design that really makes this book stand out: it is one of her best so far and shows that she is an artist through and through. Every picture has its own character and palette and yet is immediately recognisable as a Praagman. Each and every one of them could be a poster on the wall. In the classroom, for instance – which also happens to be a great place for poems.
