Synopsis:
One day, a researcher comes across a new word: ACHIMPA. Nobody knows its meaning or the word class it belongs to. People start using âachimpaâ as a verb, noun, preposition and interjection. Everyone says âachimpaâ as they feel like it until one day the researcher makes another new discovery... An achimping book for very achimp readers!

Selected for the 2012 Bologna Childrenâs Book Fair Guest Country Exhibition âLike Cherriesâ, STRIKE was awarded a Special Mention by the Portuguese National Illustration Award 2012.
