Great news came over the weekend: at the annual IBBY Lithuania Awards, CACHALOT RADIO by Jurga Vilė and Agnė Nananai was named the Best Picture Book of the Year 2024!
The story follows Dominga and her unusual friend, Snow, a giant cachalot that lives near the hidden Village A, a place unmarked on any map but visited by her family every summer. There, magical creatures appear, and although cachalots usually shy away from people, they gather joyfully in the bay, their strange chirping echoing like an old radio waiting to be heard.
The book was published by 700 eilučių in Lithuania and will soon be released in Latvia.
