\u017dana, miljenica svemira (\u017dana, Beloved of the Universe) is a true account by Croatian author Vedrana Turni\u0161ki about her daughter \u017dana, born with only half a heart and clinging to life from day one.

\u017dana is now six. From the first day she made it clear that life with her would be anything but ordinary or easy. Yet she inspires many, gently shifting physical and mental boundaries in everyone who encounters her story.<\/p>\n\n

Editor Matea \u010cvagi\u0107 Pra\u0161njak wrote about the book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The story in the title, ‘\u017dana, miljenica svemira<\/em>‘, may have already found form and line in literature, yet it is far more than a book. It speaks of a woman and the family she shapes, of life sprouting and being born, of a girl who from her very first moment had to be brave \u2013 and was. This \u017dana, beloved of the universe, born with half a heart yet with room for the whole world, can journey alongside us all.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For this sensitive, sorrowful yet inspiring narrative I illustrated the cover. I wanted it to emphasise fragility, sensitivity and the tenderness with which we enter the world. Despite the weight of the story I used bright colours to lift childhood joy and that inner urgency that makes us cling to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
