Lena Hach & Julia Dürr
Tomke Digs
Digging – what else!
Tomke is in the garden. Tomke is digging. The hole gets bigger and deeper. ‘It’s already a real pit!’ exclaims Mum.
‘You must be looking for pirate treasure!’
Tomke doesn’t answer. If you dig, you can’t answer.
In her first picture book, bestselling author Lena Hach leaves the words to the constantly intervening adults. Tomke doesn’t have to say anything, digging is enough.
The ingenious illustrations by Julia Dürr delve deep into Tomke’s world and allow us to feel the fascination of childlike self-forgetfulness.
