Locomotive ; The turnip ; The birds' broadcast
Tuwim, Julian, 1894-19532017
Book
In the late 1930s renowned Polish poet Julian Tuwim, was asked to write three poems for children. The publisher Przeworski connected the three poems into one book, 'Locomotive', and commissioned illustrations from celebrated Polish illustration duo Lewitt and Him. 'Locomotive' was the beginning of a creative partnership that lasted many years. Featuring the original three poems, 'Locomotive', 'The Turnip', and 'The Bird's Broadcast', children learn what's inside each train carriage as it chugs along, how many people, animals, and friends it takes to pull a turnip from the ground, and what happens when birds of all kinds gather for a meeting in the woods.
