Where are you, little cockerel?

Anna Kaźmierak

A vibrant, colorful, and rhythmic ethnographic journey through Poland, bursting with creativity and wonder, designed as a playful search engine for the youngest readers. The mission? To find a hidden cockerel among lively patterns and the characters of folk traditions. The cockerel transforms: as a wooden toy, a paper cutout, or a metal weather vane. It adorns embroidered costumes, aids musical expression, and even becomes a prop in centuries-old village theater. These cockerels—bright, clay, wooden—spark imagination and childlike joy. **Anna Kaźmierak on creating the book:** "Working on this book meant using my artistic sensitivity to reinterpret the motifs of material and immaterial heritage—traditions still alive in some Polish villages. It reflects my longing for cultural spaces shaped by nature and shared local history, where continuity felt guaranteed. Through painting, I share customs and objects I see as powerful—not just symbolically."
