The collected poems Pesmi muce potovke for children by one of the best youth Slovenian writers Svetlana Makarovič were illustrated by thirty-two Slovenian illustrators. It is a comprehensive selection of songs from her poetry collections, puppet shows, poems and radio plays. Sapramiška, Korenčkov palček, vila Malina, kosovirji, coprnica Zofka, Rdeča kapica, žaba Regica, pek Mišmaš, lačni krokodil,Sneguljčica and many others meet in Pesmi muce potovke. Literary historian Blažić says that Svetlana Makarovič's youth poems can be read through the prism of the so-called carnival theory of the philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin, or Sandra Beckett's thought can be applied to them, which speaks of a double title, ie the intersection of literature. This is how subversive youth literature is born, with whatever kind of rebels are created. "As an earlier example of such writing, My contribution to the collection were illustrations for Sneguljčica in sedem palčkov / Snow White and Seven Dwarfs and for the poem Zakaj / Why. ©Svetlana Makarovič, Sanje d.d.
