Where is home?


Andrea Petrlik Huseinović is a writer and illustrator for children. She has received the 2014 GRAND PRIX at the Oita Biennial of Illustrations, Japan and the 2003 BIB GOLD PLAQUE in Bratislava. Her two most awarded and most read books are The Blue Sky and Ciconia Ciconia, translated into English by Ludwig Bauer.

Andrea Petrlik Huseinović wrote and illustrated Maleni in English and Croatian. Together with her husband Kašmir Huseinović they created OscarHector and A Tale of Snowman. She also wrote and illustrated adaptations of the famous children's classics Little Red Ridding Hood and The Three Little Pigs.

The Digital Children's Library is a great source of free multicultural e-books for children. And if you have time you can put your translation skills to great use and translate the books in as many languages as you know. It is my favorite translation volunteer  work.

If you check the web site of the publisher Kašmir promet you may find more of their books available in English, and other languages too.
