Kairi Looka. Pija Prjaņika un vārdēdis Pētergailis, 2022
“Pija Prjaņika un vārdēdis”, stāsta par meiteni Piju Prjaņiku, kas sāk mācīties 1. klasē. Pirmajā skolas dienā noskaidrojas, ka klasē notiek kaut kas dīvains: uz sienas parādās violetas pēdas, no kalendāra pazūd dažas fotogrāfijas, bet skapī, kur glabājas ābeces, atskan dīvaini trokšņi. Vēlāk no ābecēm, tāfeles un grāmatām pazūd burti un vārdi. Rakstniece aktualizē vienu no mūsdienu svarīgākajiem jautājumiem – kā bērnus ieinteresēt lasīt grāmatas. |
