She looks out over the sea, infinitely far. Pile clouds high.
The wind blows a secret in her left ear and carries her outside. Step by step she moves on, chasing the clouds.

He likes mountain questions: questions that reach so high you can’t see their top in the distance. Each question opens a door - he hears the clouds crackle and blinks his eyes. Is that a sea glint?



 is a book that reveals itself to you only slowly and in which you discover new things each time. Winny Ang uses short sentences and writes very sensorially. You can almost taste her words on your tongue or feel them brush past your body like a breeze: pile of clouds high, cavernous, noiseless, questioning paths, crackling. Marie Van Praag's beautiful, atmospheric illustrations are full of fine detail and storytelling power. In her prints you feel yourself disappearing completely. A book that makes you speechless.'

'This poetic picture book for all ages is a fairly open book. As a reader, you can make of it what you see in it yourself. The story was kept brief, much has been left out. This leaves a lot of room for the reader's imagination. The prints contribute to this. They are sometimes less summary. They also tell a story, perhaps the rest of the story. 

 is an extraordinary book, sometimes a tad strange, sometimes especially poetic. In any case, it does not leave the reader unmoved.' (Reading Guide, 2024)

'

 contains a wondrous, philosophical poem for all ages, about people exploring between sea and mountains, doubting and meeting each other on this road. Definitely worth mentioning are Marie Van Praag's impressionistic drawings. The hushed, impressive landscapes, like the characters, make you feel small and large.' (Bookcase Web, December 2023)
