UNDERNEATH

in Underneath the floors and behind closed doors, tiny creatures creep, buzz, and live beside us. This poetic nonfiction picture book uncovers the secret world of miniature neighbors. Beetles, flies, millipedes, dust mites that we hardly notice, yet share our home with. Through quiet observation and delicate illustrations, the book invites a sense of wonder about the unseen life around us, encouraging curiosity rather than fear.
- The book encourages children to look closer, sparking curiosity and wonder
- The book combines delicate illustrations and minimal text to turn observation into an adventure
- The book offers a first gentle introduction to ecology, showing how even the smallest lives are part of a bigger system
Hello! My name is Linnéa, a design student at FH Potsdam with a passion for illustration. Drawing and observing the world around me has always been my way of exploring and communicating.The Picture Book Lab gave me the chance to transform my fascination for tiny creatures into a story. With my work I hope to inspire new ways of seeing our everyday life.
