About the Book
"Torben Kuhlmann's ... illustrated, nearly wordless tale offers a ... window into an imaginary yet hauntingly familiar world under our feet, where the moles suddenly recognize the precarious balance between progress and preservation. But is it too late?"--Dust jacket flap.Book Synopsis
A 2015 Foreword INDIES finalist in Picture Books (Children's) "Kuhlmann's detailed art will pull in readers who like to see how things fit together, while his message is abundantly clear for everyone." -Kirkus Reviews Torben Kulhmann's stunningly illustrated, nearly wordless tale offers a fascinating window into an imaginary, yet hauntingly familiar world under our feet, where a mole suddenly recognizes the precarious balance between progress and preservation. Kulhmann's open ended text encourages thoughtful exploration into possible solutions, and his delightful endpapers depict a montage of solutions that could very well save the moles' world and ours.Review Quotes
[Younger readers]...will be transfixed by the gracefully drafted and soberly colored paintings of the moles, their intricately engineered machines, and their exhausted, poorly-lit world.-- "Publishers Weekly"
Explicit in its message. Subtle in its presentation. In short, a beaut.--Elizabeth Bird "A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal"
Kuhlmann's detailed art will pull in readers who like to see how things fit together...-- "Kirkus Reviews"
About the Author
Torben Kuhlmann studied illustration and communications design at the Hamburg University of Applied Science, with book illustration as his main subject. In June 2012 he finished his studies by writing and illustrating the children's book Lindbergh--The Tale of a Flying Mouse. This was his first picture book, and within a very short time it became a best seller. It has now been translated into more than thirty languages. Further mouse adventures followed with Armstrong (2016), Edison (2018), and Einstein (2021), all of which have achieved cult status.Dimensions (Overall): 11.1 Inches (H) x 8.7 Inches (W) x .3 Inches (D)
