A surreal story inspired by Vincent van Gogh¿s ear by the award-winning children¿s book
creator Piret Raud. When the artist Vincent van Gogh cuts off his ear the ear is suddenly
left alone and headless. What will become of her? Where should she go? What should she do?
Acutely aware of how small and insignificant she is in the big wide world the ear experiences
something of an identity crisis. She simply doesn¿t know who she is anymore. But thanks to a
downcast frog with a heavy heart who simply needs listening to she realizes what she can offer
to the world: a sympathetic ear. Through helping her friends she discovers a fresh perspective
on life. Piret Raud is Estoniäs leading children¿s book creator and has twice been nominated
for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2020 and 2022. Her hand-drawn artwork is breathtaking
for its exquisite detail remarkably vibrant colours and bold compositions. This bedtime story
will amuse beguile and teach empathy in equal measure.
