She was awarded the Snöbollen for Swedish Picture Book of the Year in 2016 and the Nordic Council Children and Young People’s Literature Prize in 2017 for Djur som ingen sett utom vi (Animals that no one has seen except us). But indeed I can nevertheless certainly and well imagine David DeGrand's illustrative offerings being a hit with the intended audience, with older children from about the age of nine onwards (who would or at least might also find the pictures that I have personally found rather creepy and nasty looking instead of simply endearing and lovable as fun and engaging). Using mixed media, Bondestam creates rich, layered illustrations featuring animals all across the globe….
The book shows Linda Bondestam’s mastery by the use and enrichment of the picture book’s entire range.
