Collage artwork plays with both the scale and clear shapes. The blueness of a blueberry meets the reddish brown of the bears, as the yellow of the landscape intertwines with the silhouettes in graphic black. Sizable text body and its emphasized words slip into the illustrations without a challenge. The result is well-balanced, prestigious and stylish.

This tome gets its strength through its large form that supports well the bold and lively illustrations.

The Committee is eagerly looking forward to the next issue in the series of Finnish Superwomen!
