«Coses que passen de tant en tant» is the children's picture book by Kestutis Kasparavicius, published by Thule Ediciones in hardback (80 pages, in Catalan).
The starting point is the protest of everyday objects (a chair, a lamp, a strawberry, a basketball, a flashlight) demanding that the author write about them. With humor and wit, Kasparavicius places bears, pigs, rabbits, and turtles in baffling situations, and his vivid watercolors appeal to pre-readers and adults alike.
It belongs to the Trampantojo collection from Thule Ediciones and includes text and illustrations by Kestutis Kasparavicius, translated by Laura Vaqué Sugrañes.
Aimed at children and also at adults who enjoy illustration and humor.
