The project is inspired by and dedicated to the laundresses from the village Preko on the island of Ugljan, Croatia. The backbone of the project is the picture book of the same name, created with a desire to present to young generations, in an appropriate way, the cultural and traditional heritage of Ugljan, Preko and the tragic event in which, during a storm at sea in 1891, the laundresses lost their lives. Although it was intended for the youth, it is suitable for all generations, because it deals with universal, but sensitive and challenging topics. The visually rich illustrations and the story are followed by the glossary and the Preko Time machine where the terms from the local dialect, lifestyle, work, and survival in Preko and the town of Zadar are described in detail.
