Ulla Saar is an illustrator and the director of foreign relations for Estonian Children's Literature Centre. She graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts in product design, and is currently working as a designer.

Iseenesest tore suveseiklus ja tundub, et Eestimaa on täis krapsakaid ja hakkajaid vanainimesi, sest antud teos on järjekordne vanaema juures koolivaheaja veetmise lugu. Kahju, et muul ajal nii vähe toimub! Minu jaoks on selle raamatu puhul tehtud ük ...more
