"The Bridge is so many things at once. It is very funny, it is very mysterious, it is very beautiful, and it is like no book I've ever seen. I love it very much." --Jon Klassen
From beloved Swedish children's author-illustrator Eva Lindstr, The Bridge is the story of two wolves, one pig, and a bridge--and what it means to embrace the absurd twists and turns that life sometimes has in store. Perfect for fans of the down-to-earth charm and wisdom of William Steig and the sly wit of Jon Klassen. A pig drives by looking for a bridge but ends up the houseguest of two wolves in the woods. Who are they? What do they want? And where is the pig rushing off to, anyway? Written and illustrated in Lindstr's laconic, razor-sharp, and darkly comical style, The Bridge marks the US debut of one of the world's most celebrated picture book creators. Young readers and parents alike will savor the mysteries of this droll, fast-paced, and ever-so-slightly-sinister story in which, as in a classic fairy tale, an ordinary chance encounter suddenly morphs into an adventure that feels both wildly improbable and true to life.Author Biography
