Andrei's Search
by Barbro Lindgren
Age Range: 6-8
Andrei and his friend, Vova live in a children’s home. Andrei had a mother, but she
has disappeared and Vova never knew his. They wander around the city of St
Petersburg searching for Andrei’s mother. She has been gone for so long now
that he can barely remember what her eyes looked like. They watch the trams,
eat pierogis – dumplings filled with vegetables, fruit or cheese – and adopt a
friendly dog as they continue their search. At long last, their persistence
seems finally to be rewarded. Barbro Lindgren explores a child’s imagination
in this tale of longing and dreaming, that is accompanied by soft, watercolour
illustrations by Eva Eriksson.
