About book
It is a story of love so great that it could not fit in one little girl. The action takes place in a kitchen and is a record of daughter's short conversation with her father. The conversation scene is intertwined with more and more metaphorical images, and the world of fantasy gradually flows into reality.
"It's not true that love is in the heart, because love is in the whole person, it can even be in the heel..."

How I drew 100 houses
One spread of the book was with the following text: "I love you like a hundred houses! Like a hundred enormous houses high to the sky, stacked on top of each other and on top of each other up to the clouds!". I proceeded to work on illustration and showed an intermediate sketch to Katarzyna. On it, I depicted a mountain of houses (without an exact number), but Katarzyna asked me to draw EXACTLY 100 houses (no less), because this is how the reader will understand exactly how the girl loves her father in the story. I had to count the houses while drawing! And since the mathematician from me is bad, I even drew a couple more, there are 102 or 103 of them.
