Lupinchen

Renowned German artist and acclaimed master of book illustration Binette Schroeder has received many of the most prestigious international awards, including the Silver Medal at the Leipzig International Fair, the Golden Apple of the Bratislava Biennale, the Japanese Owl Prize, and many others.

Her first picture book, Lupinchen, is set in a surreal puppet world inhabited by remarkable characters. The main character, a melancholy doll with a tousled hairstyle, hosts a tea party in a paper house, but a gust of wind turns the event into an exciting adventure. The book continues to be reissued and enjoyed worldwide.

Binette believes that original, innovative illustrations are highly beneficial for children, cultivating taste and developing the ability to perceive and understand art. While experimental and unconventional books remain relatively rare in the mainstream market, their value is undeniable.
