COMINGS AND GOINGS
Fotini Tikkou Manos Kontoleon Anna Kontoleon
A clever take on visiting "home".
Phoebus prepares to travel for the first time alone, from the North, to spend his holiday in the city he was born, in the South.
The story flips back and forth between Phoebus's thoughts and preparations in the north and to those of his family in the south: Leandros, Phoebe, Aris, Melpo and the twins Frixos and Ellie who eagerly await Phoebus' arrival.
A fresh take on the nowadays common story of migration, and of traveling "home".
ANNA KONTOLEON was born in Athens in 1974, studied drama and acting and works as a drama teacher. She has been writing and translating for 15 years, including fairy tales and novels for children. She was awarded the 2012 Greek IBBY award for The Seven Lives of Kombos and in 2015 won the 'Award for Translation of a Book for Children' by the Greek Society of Literary Translators.
MANOS KONTOLEON was born in Athens in 1946, studied physics, but literature won him over at a very young age. He is one of the most popular Greek children's authors and has won many Greek IBBY and Society of Greek Writers awards.
