★“The wordlessness, unconventional art style, and unusual continuous visual storytelling of Imapla’s book make it feel like more of a stunning art piece than a typical children’s book. A clever concept, beautifully designed and executed.” — School Library Journal STARRED review for LOLA LOVES ANIMALS

Nikolai Popov's WHY?—newly re-released in the original wordless edition—has never been more relevant. War has no winners, and its important children learn that.

12/21/2021

We are sad to let you know that Nikolai Popov has passed away. We are grateful that we could still see him and share a heartwarming evening with him, his wife Katja and his beloved dog Dorli in his studio last September. It is comforting to know that Nik will live on in his books, most noted WHY?
His message lives on and will hopefully reach many people.
