Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story2012

Tomi Ungerer:
I think that children's books and education should give them a taste for life; even if it tastes bad. In all my children's books there's an element of fear. I always try to induce some fear in children. Why? It's very important because you have to overcome your fear. What fascinates me is the no man's land between the good and the bad. Y'know, a no man's land is actually not a place where you should kill each other, but where you can meet. And I think good can learn a lot from the bad. And bad can learn a lot from the good. Why shouldn't they have a bit of fun with each other? Excuse me - that's what life is about.
