The Day goes by

Gro Dahle

Pym’s Day trudges and tramples, shoves and pushes, pesters and hassles. The Day hangs heavy on Pym's shoulders, like a sack he has to drag around with him everywhere. You have to make friends with your Day, says Grandma. You get the Day you deserve, says Mum. Smile at the Day and the Day will smile back, says Dad. But that’s easy for them to say, Pym thinks, because nobody knows how exhausting Pym’s Day is; only somebody who knows the Day can know that. Together, Pym and the Day tumble down into a place where nobody can hear them. And perhaps you need to fall into the very deepest of deep depths to work up the courage to whisper ‘Help me’. The Day is a dark, intense and poetic tale of childhood depression – a powerful picture book about how dark things can get when The Day demands too much of you.

Anna Fiske

In What’s it Like to Be a Grown-Up? Anna Fiske addresses questions about adult life, big and small. Can grown-ups eat chocolate whenever they feel like it? Can grown-ups stay up all night?

Smart book for children about being adult “If anyone were to ask me what it’s like to be grown-up, I would be at a loss for words. Anna Fiske, on the other hand, goes to task with full vigor. … she has found her niche, in the interplay of facts and fun, enlightenment and engagement. For these are books where the children can actively participate themselves, with their own creativity and experiences.” NRK "Anna Fiske has written the best children's book of the year."

Why?

Kaia Linnea Dahle Nyhus

Why? is a book full of questions! Because there’s so much to ask about. Why is it wrong to hit people? Why doesn’t Dad beep his horn more when he’s driving? Why can’t we brush our teeth with caramel sauce? And where do they come from, all these questions? Should we phone the King? Or ask Outer Space? A warm, funny picture book from Kaia Dahle Nyhus for kids with their noggins full of questions.REVIEWSWhy? is both a warm and funny picture book for all curious children. There is something so liberating about a book that's filled with questions and very few answers. Here, the child itself has to get involved.Bogbotten.dk, Denmark Challenging picture book – also for adults[The story and conundrum] is complex and unusually deep. The story works splendidly both at the children's level, where one can talk about authorities and about hitting someone, and on the adult-philosophical level, which takes up the breaking down of moral and the group cohesiveness of society. It is awe-inspiring art.Kristeligt Dagblad, Denmark Why? is an excellent picture book, which everyone who knows a curious little one could bring home to the reading nook.Politiken, Denmark

Around the World in 80 Words

Helene Uri

The Norwegian language contains words from all over the world! Some have travelled only a short distance, crossing the border from Sweden or heading north from Germany. Others have been on much longer journeys, all the way from South America, Africa or Asia. This is a book about the words that have settled in Norway, becoming part of our language. Children will find words they know laid out on beautifully illustrated maps, they’ll go on journeys by land and sea, and they’ll learn that our language makes the world both smaller and richer. A gorgeous, colourful book that you’ll want to keep on display in the children’s room.
