The Skylark Will Come
Poetry. Translated from the Latvian by Rita Laima Berzins. Photographs by Andris Eglitis. This volume collects Baltvilk's work from 1990-2002. "Writer, poet, translator from Lithuanian and German, editor, author of some 40 books, 25 of which were written for children, observer and friend of nature and wildlife--Janis Baltvilks considered himself lucky in a very deep, religious way: he was grateful for the gift of life itself. He possessed a a remarkable humility that enabled him to accept everything around him as a gift and a lesson. What he learned he passed on to his readers"--Rita Laima Berzins.
Bicki Bucki
Bicki Bucki is a modern nursery rhyme. It's the first in a collectible series of six new classics by Latvian authors, translated into English for the first time. Janis Baltvilks and illustrator Reinis Petersons work together to tell the unusual story of a friendship between a small boy and a dinosaur which gets its tail stuck under a stone. Petersons's simple, block colour illustrations make this tale of perseverance and helping others pop off the page. And just like the hero, the reader who powers on to the end will find a real surprise at the end of their quest!
