Tad Hills Bücher
Tad Hills, bekannt für seine Bilderbücher, begann seine künstlerische Reise als Kind mit dem Drang zu erschaffen und zu zeichnen. Sein unverwechselbarer visueller Stil, geschärft durch sorgfältige Beobachtung und Vereinfachung, erweckt Charaktere mit wesentlichen Elementen zum Leben, die eine breite Palette von Emotionen vermitteln. Hills erforscht tiefgründig Themen wie Freundschaft, Gerechtigkeit und wie Kinder ihre Beziehungen gestalten, wobei seine Erzählungen oft als Sprungbretter für Elterngespräche mit Kindern dienen. Obwohl der Schreibprozess herausfordernd sein kann, findet er große Freude, wenn die Charaktere zu ihm sprechen, und seine Illustrationen zeugen von seinem Engagement für die Verfeinerung von Form und Ausdruck. Seine Arbeit ist inspiriert von alltäglichen Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen, die die Nuancen der kindlichen Interaktion einfangen.






Flip und Flop sind beste Freunde, die gerne zusammen spielen. Als das angeberische Küken Kiki auftaucht, wird Flop eifersüchtig und möchte wieder allein mit Flip sein. Um Kiki eine Pause zu gönnen, entwickeln sie eine clevere Idee. Eine herzliche Geschichte über Freundschaft und Eifersucht.
