A coat and a handbag fall in love: this tender and slightly crazy story for children from six years, written by Marka Míková, illustrated by Galina Miklínová, has won the prestigious Czech Magnesia Litera Award for best children‘s literature.

Kabát a kabelka (The Coat and the Handbag) draws readers into an exciting adventure on empty city streets in the midst of pandemic times. The author‘s narration “enchants with poetics, individuality, humor and grabs the heart like any true love story”, the jury has written about this book.
