Knitting is like a dance where you spin, twirl and weave the knitting needles to create clothing. Scarves, hats, pullovers, socks and much more. Paula’s mother often makes her knitting needles dance. In her mother’s hands, the wool becomes magical yarn. And sometimes even the opposite happens. She transforms old pullovers into a tightly wound ball of wool to then be knitted into something entirely new. The picture book, interwoven with the tenderness of soft wool, talks about how strong love is and how quickly a child’s heart forgives, if only it is loved.

Nataša Vertelj is writer, designer and illustrator - her works adorn countless homes. Her illustrations are mainly in pastel, occasionally combined with acrylic, collage or mixed media, with soft and light tones and delicate pastel color schemes. Her creative focus has always been on children's illustrations. I love to translate words into pictures, and thus the idea came to me: let the characters in picture books "step" out of the pages and live on the walls of children's rooms.

Natasha has illustrated over 40 children's and young adult books. Her works have been published in children's magazines, and she has been the main artist for several gift bag designs in the MiaMondo gift series and the POT brand. She was awarded a special prize by the jury at the international competition "Butterfly and Swan Wings" held in Schwanns, Austria, and in 2017 she won the first prize for the best illustration in children's and young adult literature.
