An unexpected and original picture book about being stuck and finding a way to get free

For years, the kiosk has been Olga’s life. She spends her days inside reading travel magazines and dreaming of distant places. One day a chance occurrence turns her upside down—literally—and sets her off on an unexpected journey. The Kiosk is a warm and curious story about someone who is stuck finding a way to be free. The story was originally produced as a short animation which gained international recognition and was selected for over 100 festivals around the world.

Industry Reviews

"The gloriously-coloured illustrations have you peering at details and cheering Olga on as she finds a way to change her life."

-- Family Times Magazine

"The most captivating and original book...The pictures of Olga are wonderfully inventive and strange, done in bright colors reminiscent of Matisse paintings. A parable for our time, The Kiosk is about escaping a confining routine and finding something better, about being "stuck," as Melece herself has described it, and figuring out a way to "start a journey to your happy place exactly as you are." "

-- The New York Times

"The Kiosk steps out of this straitjacket, introducing young readers to a very different visual language and style, expanding horizons and visual literacies."

-- IBBY UK
