Autorska slikanica: Ian podari dudo
Authorial picture book : Ian gives away his dummy

Napisala, ilustrirala ter oblikovala: Natalija A Lani

Slikanica je bila izvedena v okviru magistrske naloge pod mentorstvom prof. mag. Milana Eriča ter asist. Damijana Stepančiča.

Večplastna zgodba v slikanici govori o malemu dečku Ianu, ki se pri svojih letih še vedno oklepa dude. Slednja mu pomeni vse - z njo potuje, raziskuje, prijateljuje in mu je največja tolažba, ko mu je težko. Kot vsak otrok tudi on ne čuti potrebe, da bi se je znebil, do dneva, ko ga njegova starša spodbudita.

Skozi zgodbo se otroci lahko poistovetijo z malim junakom, spoznajo kakšen je občutek deljenja ter prejemanja. Zgodba nas preko ilustracij odpelje v prelepo realistično pokrajno in že v naslednjem trenutku se znajdemo nekje nad oblaki. V ilustracijah se prepletata tako realizem kot tudi nadrealizem, kar nas opomni na določene občutke, ki se jih le redko zavedamo.

Ta kratka ilustrirana zgodba je staršem lahko kot vodilo in mala pomoč, ko pride čas, da se naši malčki za vendno poslovijo od njihove dude.

The multi-layered story in the picture book is abute a little boy, Ian, who still clings to the dummy at his age. The dummy means everything to him - he traveles with it, explores, makes friends and it is greatest consolation when it is difficult for him. Like any child, he doesn't feel to need to get rid of it until the day his parents encourage him.

Through the story, children can identify with the little hero, learn about the feeling of sharing and receiving. Through illustration the story takes us to a beautiful realistic landscapes, and the very next moment we find ourselves somewhere above the clouds. Both realism and surrealism are intertwined in the illustrations, which reminds us of certain feelings that are we rarely aware of.

The short illustrated story can be a guide and a little help to parents when it comes time for our toddlers to say goodbye to their dummy.
