- The Meerkat That...
By chance, the meerkat finds an abandoned plantation of peanuts. However, it faces a dilemma – should it keep all the peanuts for itself or share them with its friends? The book addresses the important theme of what is truly important – material possessions or bonds of friendship? Sharing is not always an easy choice, but it is fulfilling, a point which young children sooner or later also experience through interacting with their peers.
This picture book pairs a universal emotional story with a truly distinctive formal concept. At its heart is a meerkat surrounded by abundance, who gradually learns that true wealth does not lie in possession, but in friendship and connection. Its palindrome-inspired structure — allowing the book to be read from both directions — adds an original literary dimension while deepening the themes of choice, repetition, and emotional transformation. Visually, the book is equally striking, with elegant, expressive illustrations, a refined palette, and a highly memorable symbolic use of color.
