Illustrated classic children's poetry

The Door Wizard is a modern nursery rhyme. It's part of a collectible series of six new classics by Latvian authors, translated into English for the first time. This tale by Peters Bruveris is about the radical changes that happen when a wizard makes it impossible for a door to close. The outside comes in and the inside goes out. But what's a kid to do, caught in the middle of it all? The story is brought to life with colourful geometric illustrations of home life and the natural world by Paulis Liepa.

Ice Cream is a modern nursery rhyme. It's part of a collectible series of six new classics by Latvian authors, translated into English for the first time. Arnolds Auzinš offers a cautionary tale about the perils of eating too many sweet treats - if you choose to see it that way. It all depends on whether you think turning into a snowman is a good thing or a bad thing! Watercolour pictures by Liva Piterane create a playful, dream-like snowscape, and add a comic touch to the poem's portrait of family life.

Naughty Gnat is a modern nursery rhyme. It's part of a collectible series of six new classics by Latvian authors, translated into English for the first time. Valdis Grenkovs tells the familiar story of what happens when a drawing session doesn't go to plan, taking the reader from the conception to the meltdown. Zane Zlemeša illustrates the text with a vivid collage of scribbles and platters as our check-shirted hero becomes overwhelmed by a fly in the ointment.
