David Almond writes about children and for children. He simply writes about the most difficult things. About what is so important for a person to understand at the age of ten or twelve, about questions that stir the soul and to which adults do not know the answer: is it true that shoulder blades are needed for wings to be attached to them? Can clay figures come to life if you try really hard when you sculpt them? Does love help cure diseases? Almond writes in such a way that he is read by children and adults around the world - his books have been translated into more than two dozen languages. In 2010, he won the H.H. Andersen Prize, the highest honor in the world of children's literature. And all his awards are countless. The book Skellig, written in 1998, received the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Prize, and the film of the same name starring Tim Roth was released in 2008. “My Name is Mina” precedes the events that will unfold in Skellig, Almond’s most famous book, filmed in 2008... Mina had no friends - she was considered strange. There was no father - he died. But she had a mother - the best, understanding mother - and a whole world in her head. Because the head is a place for miracles. But how to find someone with whom you can share them?
