Drago Hedl

The Yellow Carousel by Drago Hedl is a picture book intended for children, but it carries a universal message about imagination, freedom and the joy of life. Set in Osijek, the story follows a boy who discovers a magical yellow carousel on the banks of th

The carousel is no ordinary one – it brings dreams to life and takes children to a world of imagination where anything becomes possible. Through vivid descriptions and warm illustrations, Hedl creates an atmosphere of carefree childhood, interweaving Osijek’s surroundings such as the Lower Town and the river with elements of fantasy.

The main character, together with his friends, experiences adventures on the carousel: they fly above the city, meet unusual characters and explore the worlds of their dreams. The story emphasizes the importance of friendship, togetherness and the courage to follow one’s dreams, but also subtly warns about the transience of childhood. The carousel symbolizes joy, but also the fragility of moments that quickly disappear. Hedl, known for his journalistic and literary work, here shows sensitivity to a child’s perspective, using simple but poetic language.

The work exudes nostalgia for the Osijek landscape and childhood in the 80s, making it special in Hedl’s oeuvre, which was later marked by more serious themes such as crime and history. The Yellow Carousel remains a valuable contribution to children's literature, celebrating the imagination and beauty of everyday life.
