A zine written and illustrated by Oda Margrethe Lilleaasen.

8 am is a book about the tiny stories that make up our lives, the stories that shape who we are. And every single person you see when walking to the train station at 8 am in the morning have their own life - a life that they live without you witnessing it. 

​There is a word for the feeling you get when you realise this, sonder. 

​With environment and characters inspired by Southampton in England during a winter, this illustrated book is a love letter to all the people passing each other in the streets, on their way to work, home, school or the grocery store. 

​Next time you are out and about, perhaps try to get to know one of these strangers?
