A Year of Good News


// This book is unfortunately sold out. However, you can pre-order the licensed US version of A Year of Good News directly from Union Square & Co. 

Are you one of those who feel that last year we had more than our fair share of bad news? Animated film maker Martin Smatana found an original way of cheering up his friends in these difficult times: every week he picked a “good news” story from around the world and illustrated it with a happy image that he fashioned from used fabrics. We hope that this book, featuring 52 illustrated good news stories, will put a smile on your face as well.

„At the beginning of the pandemic, I had to figure out some sort of distraction that inspired me. From week to week, I found one piece of good news from around the world and made a picture of it.“
