OMOiOMO Compilation 4 Peter Hertzberg

OMOiOMO Compilation 4 is the first collection of illustrated stories created by Peter Hertzberg during 2019, the second year of OMOiOMO. It contains the stories "The Little Match Girl" an text-free adaption of HC Andersens beloved classic, "The Wanderer and the Nosewise" a story about daring to stand up when others try to hold you down, "The Dream Painters" about turning nightmares in to dreams, and "Red Ball" a story about friendship and bravery. In this collection three of the four stories are text-free something that is a interesting challenge as a storyteller. That is, to only with images tell not only the shallow plot of the story but also its subtext and depth. Text-free books, also sometimes called "silent books", are books that are appreciated, among other places, at refugee camps as they are readable also by the most vulnerable, unaccompanied refugee children.
