They wouldn't let her bathe alone, and Zackarina's father didn't feel like walking her to the beach..." What do girls and boys really care? That the older ones work a lot, that they don't do things together, that they don't understand them... Because there are so many Zackarinas suffering loneliness, frustrations, misunderstanding... Many young readers will feel reflected in this story by the award-winning Åsa Lind, so real ( and as imaginary) as life itself; as well as many fathers and mothers will see themselves guiltily portrayed as the strange animals that they are, in the words of the protagonist.
