Zvezdana’s Universe of Poetry and Riddles is an anthology by renowned
children’s author Zvezdana Majhen–over 150 riddles and children’s poems were selected from her extensive opus of forty-one published works.

A collection of the most beautiful children's puzzles and poems by contemporary Slovenian poet Zvezdana Majhen is a tribute to the poet on her 70th birthday. This wonderful book is home to poetry that combines the poet's and the reader's desire to get closer to the light of truth and beauty, which shines like a firefly in the darkness of ignorance and often too mundane everyday life.

The stars combine the joy of solving puzzles, discovering and accepting the world of a child and his or her upbringing, and the wonder of reality that is not owned by humans, but which we all too often interfere with: we appropriate it, we change it, instead of admiring it first and foremost. The intertwining of words and images sketches the features of the world of the modern child and other creatures who are our neighbors, children and adults – they just live on another meadow or in the nearby forest or in the sky.

This intertwining is something special, as the illustrations were provided by three excellent artists, making it essentially three books in one. While reading the words, it is essential that readers also immerse themselves in the images, which open up entirely new dimensions of imagination.
