Der var engang seks mænd, som rejste ud i verden for at finde et sted, hvor de kunne bo og arbejde i fred. Endelig fandt de det sted, de havde forestillet sig. Men hvor længe kunne de leve fredeligt der?Seks mænd er en nænsomt fortalt, tidløs og præcis fortælling om, hvordan krig opstår. David McKee (1935-2022) var britisk illustrator og forfatter, verdenskendt for bl.a. den farvestrålende, ternede elefant Elmer og modtager af bl.a. The Hans Christian Andersen Award og Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis. I 1971 udkom hans bog om de seks mænd og krigens årsag første gang; halvtreds år senere er den blevet en klassiker og er (desværre) lige så aktuel som dengang.

There was once a bird in the forest that was completely black, except for his white eyes, who was laughed at by all the other animals because he did not have a name. So he goes to seek his fortune - and perhaps find a name! A modern fable that answers the question "How did the toucan get its name?" - and also incidentally his amazing colours!

When Rupert and Kate tell their parents they're going to make a snowman, both Mum and Dad correct them, "You mean a snowperson." Originally published over 30 years ago, this is a deceptively simple story that overthrows gender stereotypes in a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek way that only master storyteller David McKee, the creator of Elmer the patchwork elephant and Mr Benn, could accomplish.
