Žiga X. Gombač: Črno belo

The White family lives in a White house in the middle of a White Town, leading a happy and carefree life. However, their peace is disrupted by a fear of anything black. Will an encounter with a black cat change their view of the world?

It is a story about embracing differences and challenging the prejudices that shape and limit our lives. It also explores the search for color in a black-and-white world—a world that “desperately needs color”. This timely and pressing social issue is masterfully conveyed through literary language, with thoughtful illustrations further enriching the text. The illustrator’s focus on details contrasts beautifully with the narrow-mindedness of a black-and-white worldview, adding deeper meaning to the narrative.
