Everyone Walks Away
Everyone Walks Away
A beautiful, multi-layered picture book about loneliness, exclusion and belonging
"Unique illustrations; strong, poetic writing; and a powerful story: Everyone Walkers Away is one of a kind." Julia Marshall, Publisher
Frank feels lonely when everyone walks away. Tilly, Paul, and Milan are having fun. Frank cries tears into a pan, 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. Thereβs not a word, not a detail too many. August Prize jury
