The history of darkness

Yulia Horst

Yulia Horst and Daria Rychkova (illustrator) gave us Tales Throughout Time (Halens historie), an ingenious, lexical picture book which won the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi Award. This time, they've written about something all children can relate to, and nearly all are afraid of: the dark.Through the eyes of a little boy who would rather sleep in his big brother's room, we learn that the darkness can be explained, and that it isn't actually so very frightening.

Whistle for Tella

Anna Fiske

Tella always comes when you whistle, and she wags her whole body. But then something happens that happens to all pets in the end. Sad as it may be. Plystre på Tella is a beautiful story about a difficult subject. With a distinctive, child-like gaze and warm observations, Anne Fiske writes about grief and about having to carry on.

Policeland
Children's Books2016 · 40 pp · Age 3+

Policeland

Erlend Loe

Kim shakes his dad awake, but dad doesn't feel like getting up. Instead, he tells Kim that children who get up too early on Saturdays are in danger of being arrested by the Get-up Police. When that isn't enough to quiet Kim down, Dad tells him that there are even more police departments to worry about. Like the Ask-a-Lot Police. Not to mention the Nagging Police. In other words, there are plenty of reasons to settle down and leave Dad in peace.Or are there? Policeland is a humorous play on the threats felt by adults, the fears faced by children and the fantasies experienced by both.DAGBLADET Very few writers can like Loe take a non-story of a fathers boring reluctance to get out of bed, and make it flourish in wildgrowing tales, both scary and exciting. Thore Hansens twisted drawings underline the surrealism with expressive and harsh satire. FIVE STARS OUT OF SIXBERLINGSKE TIDENDE, Denmark
