Synopsis

Mint is not angry – she just looks that way!

With the pugs Mint and Maude in the lead roles, big emotions and small differences are explored when one dog always looks happy - and the other always looks sulky. But can you always tell how people - or dogs - feel like, just by looking at them?

A picture book full of humor and edge that appeals to both young and old.

Reviews

"A picture book with a focus on looking different. Your appearance might differ from how you feel inside. Ideal for dialogue about feelings and people's expectations of you. The book contains a certain amount of humor and is easy to read aloud. There is a nice connection between picture and text. Stine Stregen's illustrations will be familiar to the adult reader. The minimalist line fits well with the book's message." – (Library review (Lektørudtalelse)
