Everyone Walks Away by Eva Lindstrom

Everyone Walks Away by Eva Lindstrom

A beautiful, multi-layered picture book about loneliness, exclusion and belonging Frank feels lonely when everyone walks away. Tilly, Paul and Milan are having fun. Frank cries tears into a pan and then adds sugar, and cooks and stirs for hours. Frank has made jam, his very own recipe. He will now invite the others for afternoon tea. "The people are so small on the large spreads, the surroundings are diffuse, the colours melancholic. Even the objects are on their own. Leaves drop like tears. A gate, a fence, a cul-de-sac; all become barriers, excluding. There's not a word, not a detail too many," August Prize jury.

Frank goes one way after school and everyone else goes anotherIt seems like he is always on the outside looking in until one day he decides to take matters into his own hands. Soft-hued color blocks and shifting shadows surround Frank as he prepares a teatime picnic using some unusual, heartfelt ingredients. The book is eloquent yet playful with an emotionally charged message, and audiences will root for Frank as he takes a risk, sharing pieces of himself.--Foreword Reviews -- "Website" (5/16/2019 12:00:00 AM)
