What’s It Like to Be a Child?

Norwegian title: Hvordan er det å være barn?

Anna Fiske

Children are people who simply haven’t lived that long yet. They’re everywhere – in every country, in every family, in every corner of the world. The world is full of children! And children are the most important thing we have. But what does it actually feel like to be a child?

In What’s It Like to Be a Child?, acclaimed author and illustrator Anna Fiske explores the joys, challenges, and wonders of childhood with her signature warmth, humour, and insight. With honesty and empathy, she dives into both everyday moments and big questions – from feeling left out, to growing up, to understanding the world around you.

Fiske speaks directly to children in a way that makes them feel seen, respected, and included. This is a book full of care, curiosity, and celebration – a beautiful reminder that being a child is not just a phase, but a world of its own.
