Flooded: Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023 | Mariajo Ilustrajo

1 post | 1 read

Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023 Flooded is the funny and beautifully illustrated tale of animals who live in a city that is ever so slowly flooding. The flood comes gradually at first. All the animals ignore the obvious and go about their busy lives, disjointed from one another and preoccupied by their own problems. Eventually, the flood water reaches a height that they can no longer ignore and they have to work together to save their city. All the animals join together in a line and pull out the plug that is drowning the city. This is an exceptionally illustrated story that teaches a message not to let problems fester and with a little team work and community spirit, no problem is insurmountable.

so-so

3 ⭐ This book is about a city where water just keeps getting taller and taller and everybody ignores it until the point they can‘t. In this case everybody happens to be animals. But one person or one otter knew what to do. After convincing the rest of the animals of what to do, they did it, and while the water receded things were not the same. The just knew whatever challenge appeared teamwork would help with whatever was needed.

LibrarianRyan This book is beautifully illustrated but it‘s a hard story. You‘re expecting it to be an environmental story or an allegory and then it‘s just about working together. It‘s odd. It‘s not bad, it‘s just odd. 7mo
