Iwo from Boringland

Iwo from Boringland

written by Dorota Suwalska
illustrated by Marta Krzywicka

A modern fairy-tale including text messages. emails, films and the Internet. The story shows that fear can be a good adviser (for example, when you are fighting a dragon) and that sometimes it’s better not to play the hero. There is a way out of every situation, even from a dragon’s cave. People should not strive for superficial ideals (for instance, the ones served up on the TV screen) because they may end up overlooking someone truly wonderful, for example – the brave royal gardener. This is a story about looking for happiness and then finding it. Renowned author Dorota Suwalska received an honourable mention in the first Polish-Italian Contest for the Best Screenplay for Children’s Film (2006) as well as an honourable mention in the Book of the Year contest organised by The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) in 2007 and 2016. She has worked with TVP (the Polish state television company) on artistic films and writes articles for children
