The Knights Go For Gold
Children's Books2023 · 56 pp · Age 3 - 9

The Knights Go For Gold

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The two little knights are back, just in time for the large knight tournament. And just like last time there is some seriousness beneath all the silliness: Why can’t girls do the same as boys? And does one HAVE to be tough and brave, just because one is a boy? The Middle Ages are almost at an end, after all! It’s the annual knight tournament in Klampenburg, and Sir Rosebush and Sir Bang have been training for a whole year. They’ve probably snuck away a bit too because it’s a little dangerous to do both sword fighting and archery – not to mention jousting. (That’s when someone tries to push the other one down from the horse with a long pole.) They don’t really want to take part, but Princess Begonia does! The problem is just that the King has said she’s not allowed to take part because she’s a girl. So the two little knights must help her to secretly prepare for the tournament. They have to train her for the exercises and find armour that will hide her face. Neither of those things are easy! Bjørn F. Rørvik is a master at silly humour with a good undertone, his stories are a joy to read out loud and in this book there’s loads of fun for children and adults. Camilla Kuhn has her own twist on the knights – they are recognisable, but still a little bit different from last time.

Sofia finds a song

Marit Larsen

In the middle of the hubbub of the busy city she lives in, Sofia discovers a mysterious melody. It stands out from all the other noises, it shines, it lights up, it has its own colour, it sneaks up through the city like a magical wind with a melody in it. It creeps through the streets and up through the floor she stands on, inside the soles of her shoes, it tickles her toes, her feet must dance, they are not able to stop, it’s as if the song is dancing with her rather than the other way around. But where is the sound coming from? In Sofia Finds a Song we’re taken on an adventure to find a melody with magnetic powers. Because when you find your own song, it is yours forever.

The thought of somewhere else being better for Granddad makes Miri’s heart clench. She decides to take matters into her own hands: Miri is going to bring Granddad back home. But how’s she going to get to Spain? Granddad and Miri is a wonderful picture book about friendship, longing and childlike creativity.

Stories

Kim Fupz Aakeson

Stories is the third picture book that Dane Kim Fupz Aakeson and Norwegian Stian Hole have created together. Three masterpieces, three beautiful and moving books to touch the hearts of children and adults alike. I open the door, and there stands Grandma. ‘Grandma?’ I ask. ‘Did you run away from the nursing home?’ ‘I’m thirsty,’ Grandma says, so I pour some ice water, and we sit out in the sun. Then I say, ‘Once upon a time’. She smiles. She nods. She says, ‘Yes, once upon a time’. But that’s all she says, a smile on her lips. I say, ‘A palace?’ Grandma is getting old. She can’t drive a car anymore, or even ride a bike. In the end, she’s not very good at remembering, either—or living in her big house all alone. But she’s still good at telling stories. A beautiful picture book about how stories and memories bring grandchildren and grandparents together.

Rolf Magne G. Andersen

Coco-Banana and the Fart Soda is the third book in a series. In this book, it is Grandad Banana’s birthday, and Coco-Banana and the family are going to his party.

He decides to inject some life into the party by inventing fart soda. But what will the serious Grandad Banana have to say when the grown-up conversation is drowned out by fart sounds? Victoria Hamre’s illustrations are like something straight from an animated film.
