In Wildflowers for Little Ones, 14 different and well-known wildflowers are introduced. These are flowers that most children in Norway have acces to, and will recognize from the book. Each spread has a large, clear close-up of the flower in question, and a smaller picture that shows more. The facts give fun and exciting information about each and every flower. The text is simple, with words and expressions from children's own world.

A stark and beautiful picture book about being a child in a world at war. What's it like to be little when even your own mother cannot guarantee everything will be alright? Mom says Noah can run faster than bullets, and that's a good thing, because sometimes bullets hit their apartment block. It's going to be ok, says Mom. Mom looks after Noah and Noah looks after Wild Rabbit. But one day their apartment block is hit by a bomb, and both Mom and Wild Rabbit are gone. Arne Svingen has written a number of books for children, teens and adults. The book is illustrated by Danish illustrator and artist, Kamila Slocinska. She is a graduate of The Danish Design School and Glasgow School of Art. 'So beautiful you could cry'POLITIKKEN, DK
