Lina Eitmantytė-Valužienė. Išgirsti dieną (Hearing the Day), Vilnius: Muzikija, 2023. – 48 p.  

This wordless book tells its story through illustrations, which tenderly and aesthetically reveal the world of nature. The QR codes within the book are linked to motifs of melodies by J.S. Bach which are attributed to the characters – both the huge wolves and the tiny snail. The melodies are performed by the pianist Jurgis Aleknavičius. Combining several art genres into one, the book teaches us to calm down and embrace the miracle of the everyday, to notice everything around you and give meaning to each day of life.

Lina Eitmantytė-Valužienė (b. 1970) is an artist with almost 40 illustrated books to her name. She has organised a number of art exhibitions in Lithuania.
