Everything that Matters

“Everything that matters has no price. It’s the little things that fill life with beauty.”

​EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS is a sweet and meditative immersion into a sunny afternoon, where time stands still. A little girl speaks to us like a friend and tells us all about the fleeting pleasures of life, the beauty of simple things, the magic of childhood and the all the “little treasure” collected. A sweet and endearing picture book that evokes all the feelings linked to these sweet nothings that meaning everything (and that matter so) in the fun, colorful and intimate style, that Aurélie Lahad is so good at. Her illustrations are a perfect accompagnement to the thoughtful text by Karin Florman in her first collaboration with møtus!
