Shame

Norwegian title: Skam

Anna Fiske

We can all feel embarrassed about who or how we are. We can all feel shame.

Shame is the latest addition to Anna Fiske's series of books that deal with various emotions such as anger, shyness and shame, but with a humorous twist, with colorful and funny illustrations and short accompanying texts. The books are designed to inspire children for discussion and for their own thoughts and reflections on each theme. Thus far, the library consists of eight books on eight feelings: anger, shyness, love, fear, jealousy, sorrow, happiness and shame.

«Fiske's characteristic and fun illustrations carry as much here as in previous books. Fun scenarios, caricatures, facial expressions and colours mean that us readers can play and smile our way through the topic. We consider the shame through a strange and nice lens, and it makes it so much easier. To convey so much through so litte is its own kind of super power.»NRK
