Self-published, 2015
Authentic notes by a leading Czech singer-songwriter and artist from her journey to Little Tibet, where she spent over a month teaching children art and guitar at a school, as well as travelling. Day by day, the journey unfolds in words and, above all, in small sketches, watercolours, drawings, paintings and prints. A CD accompanies the book, featuring recordings of Ladakhi children’s songs, a variety of sounds and a song performed by the author herself.
