“Mardi Loves Lipstick” is the debut novel of author and illustrator Marija Munro.
Mardi Loves Lipstick follows the adventures of contrary little Mardi, a lipstick loving little girl who will do anything for a new tube of glossy lip stick.
Of course, one is not mistaken in thinking that Mardi is just like any other little girl her age, after all, what little girl (or big girl) for that matter DOESN’T love the right shade of lipstick.
But for Mardi, it’s a bit more than a quest for the right lipstick, it’s a need for EVERY lipstick. Could this obsession go a little too far? Could Mardi’s love of lipstick turn into a cosmetic catastrophe ?
Marija Munro has provided a fresh take on today’s rather stale children’s fiction genre. In an era where abstract art and minimalism rule the world of illustrated fiction Marija Munro has managed to take old fashioned attention to detail, which is seen in the intricate collaged illustrations and then melded this with modernistic designs and colours.
“Mardi Loves Lipstick” is a colourful romp through the eyes of a typical little girl, a world of bright colours, pretty frocks and of course LIPSTICK.
Five stars for this wonderful debut work of this sure to be literary magician.
