Your Brilliant Body

Kaveh Rashidi

With a wonderful mix of humour, facts, and playful illustrations by Hans Jørgen Sandnes, doctor and author Kaveh Rashidi has written a true tribute to the body. In this book, children can enter a world full of wonder and learning – and discover how amazing their bodies really are. Did you know that your skeleton is a small factory that makes blood and replenishes it, even if you start to bleed? Or that your brain has infinite storage space – completely unlike a refrigerator that is constantly overflowing? Through funny texts and exciting facts, the body's many secrets are presented in a way that is easy to understand and fun to read. This book not only teaches children something new, but also inspires them to be proud of the brilliant body they have.

Go Away!

Gro Dahle

"Go away!" Borre says when Mini arrives at kindergarten. "There's no room for you. You're too small. You can't join us. Go away!" Borre’s voice is loud and strong. His words are like a tall fence, a closed door, a locked gate. The words bruise and break, crush and cut and clip. But luckily, Mini has Grandpa. And Grandpa isn’t just Grandpa – he’s also a wizard. Because Grandpa can do magic with words and speak the language of wizards. "It’s important to find words that shine in the dark," says Grandpa. Because everyone needs words that open doors, and words that dare to ask for help. Words like hello, come in, join us, sorry. These are the bravest words we have. Gro Dahle is one of Norway’s most renowned and beloved picture book authors, with a unique gift for expressing painful and difficult themes in an intimate, poetic way.Go Away! is a powerful story about exclusion and bullying among the very youngest children and about the tools we can use to create inclusion, empathy, and understanding.
