If I Were Prime Minister

Norwegian title: Hvis jeg var statsminister

Illustrated by Ella K. Okstad

If I were prime minister, everyone who wanted a dog would get a dog

everyone who wanted a bike would get a bike

and everyone who wanted a friend would get at least two

Trygve Skaug has enjoyed huge success in recent years with both books and music. He has now written his first children’s book, the picture book If I Were Prime Minister, with beautiful and colourful illustrations by Ella Okstad.

This is an uplifting, inspiring and socially critical book in which Trygve’s poetic voice evokes a child’s perspective on several things the grown-ups running the country could have done better.
