The author of the witty and melancholic story about a cow barking at the Moon (Mouse, 2015) is the storyteller, librarian and youth writer Ida Mlakar Blackc. Since 1995 she has been employed at the Ljubljana City Library in the field of bibliopedagogy, since 2021 she has been retired. In 2016, she was awarded the prize of the Slovenian section of IBB light for the promoter of Youth Literature and reading. He also writes articles for parenting magazines , Cicido and Ciciban . In her stories for children and young people, she writes about interpersonal relationships and emotion. Her writing is a lyrical, subtle narrative, and this is also why her work has been repeatedly awarded. The picture book about the cow that barked at the Moon received the Kristina Brenkova prize for the original Slovenian Picture Book 2016, the Golden Pear sign 2016, and was included in the White Crow Collection, a selection of two hundred best children's and youth books from around the world, which is prepared annually by the International Youth Library.
The play about a cow barking at the Moon tells The Story of a cow named Mrvica and a horse named Van den Hi, who ran away from their last visit to the vet — she from the farm where she gave milk and he from the circus where he was a circus star. They wanted to send them for "examination" because they were old and served, and because they could no longer carry out their duties. But a wacky cow and a cool horse take a path under their hooves and hooves and go out into the world, where they breathe with full lungs and find that life even in old age can be beautiful, wild and happy.
In love with life,
endless sparking in the head,
their hearts are bursting with happiness,
he's totally throwing them.
"The story of Ida Mlakar, which was awarded the best picture book by Kristina Brenkova, addressed me, with its unusual title and the repulsive illustrations by Peter Shkerl, already on the bookshelves. It was one of the first books I carefully picked up for my, then barely a year old, firstborn. My daughter, who very quickly began to speak, after the first reading asked me questions: What does it mean under the knife? ("Dad, you're old too, will you have to go under the knife?") What does it mean that a cow does not give milk and why? And why does he have to go to the sea ... then I took a breath, caught my breath and began to look for answers, ways to tell such a small child about such great things in life. I realized that it was this book that groundbreaking opened the door for me to the world of responsible parenting, to a world where clap and uaaau replace responsible conversation with my child. In the staging, therefore, we will play with the principle of error, failure, failure, strangeness. Mistakes and failed attempts are just part of the path you have to go if you want to succeed.«

Avtorica duhovite in melanholične zgodbe O kravi, ki je lajala v luno (Miš, 2015) je pravljičarka, knjižničarka in mladinska pisateljica Ida Mlakar Črnič. Od leta 1995 je bila zaposlena v Mestni knjižnici Ljubljana na področju bibliopedagogike, od leta 2021 je upokojena. Leta 2016 je prejela nagrado Slovenske sekcije IBBY za promotorja mladinske književnosti in branja. Piše tudi članke za revije Za starše , Cicido in Ciciban . V svojih zgodbah za otroke in mlade piše o medsebojnih odnosih in čustvovanju. Njeno pisanje je lirično, tankočutno pripovedovanje, in tudi zato je bilo njeno delo večkrat nagrajeno. Slikanica O kravi, ki je lajala v luno je prejela nagrado Kristine Brenkove za izvirno slovensko slikanico 2016, znak zlata hruška 2016, obenem pa je bila uvrščena v zbirko Bele vrane, izbor dvestotih najboljših otroških in mladinskih knjig z vsega sveta, ki ga vsako leto pripravi münchenska Mednarodna mladinska knjižnica.
Predstava O kravi, ki je lajala v luno pripoveduje zgodbo krave Mrvice in konja Van den Hija, ki sta zbežala pred poslednjim obiskom pri veterinarju — ona s kmetije, kjer je dajala mleko, on pa iz cirkusa, kjer je bil cirkuška zvezda. Na »pregled« so ju hoteli poslati zato, ker sta stara in odslužena in ker ne moreta več opravljati svojih nalog. A odštekana krava in frajerski konj vzameta pot pod parklje in kopita in se odpravita ven, v svet, kjer zadihata s polnimi pljuči in ugotovita, da je življenje tudi v starosti lahko lepo, divje in srečno.
Zaljubljena v življenje,
v glavi neskončno iskrenje,
srce jima poka od sreče,
totalno ju meče.
»Zgodba Ide Mlakar, ki je bila nagrajena z nagrado za najboljšo slikanico Kristine Brenkove, me je nagovorila, s svojim nenavadnim naslovom in odbitimi ilustracijami Petra Škerla, že na knjižnih policah. Bila je to ena izmed prvih knjig, ki sem jo skrbno izbrskala za svojo, takrat komaj enoletno, prvorojenko. Hčerka, ki je zelo hitro začela govoriti, me je že po prvem branju postavila pred vprašanja: kaj pomeni it pod nož? (›Ati, ti si tudi star, boš moral pod nož?‹) Kaj pomeni, da krava ne daje mleka in zakaj? In zakaj mora it na morje … Potem sem vdihnila, zajela sapo in začela iskati odgovore, načine, kako tako majhnemu otroku govoriti o tako velikih stvareh v življenju. Spoznala sem, da mi je ravno ta knjiga prelomno odprla vrata v svet odgovornega starševstva, v svet, kjer plosk plosk in uaaau zamenja odgovoren pogovor s svojim otrokom. V uprizoritvi se bomo torej poigravali s principom napake, spodletelosti, neuspeha, nenavadnosti. Napake in spodleteli poskusi so samo del poti, ki jo moraš prehoditi, če želiš uspeti.«
