About

Hole introduces us to six-year-old Garmann during his last summer before starting school.  The humorous and poetic text, combined with surreal and multi-layered artwork, creates a truly unique and complex look at the universality of fear and uncertainty. 

“This is a book rich with literary and visual complexity, but it will be Garmann who readers remember,” said Imdieke.
