It is another fairy\u2011tale meditation, yet creatively it differs from Smaragdni gozd \u017eelja (The Emerald Forest of Wishes). That earlier landscape feels more undefined and ethereal.

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

In \u010carobno drevo it is different: the main figure is simply an observer of the other protagonists\u2014animals whose traits are clearly defined, and the story orbits them. Its lesson: the most important thing is to accept yourself and others exactly as you\/they are, in the most authentic form. I wanted to shape the characters into human\u2011like individuals and honour them as in Petra\u2019s original text, emphasising personality with bold colours and garments. The result is a tender picture book filled with cheerful, airy, expressive and vividly coloured illustrations.<\/p>\n\n
