The Knights and the Great Bonfire

Bjørn F. Rørvik

It’s Midsummer’s Eve, and Sir Bang has been given the important task of lighting the great Midsummer bonfire. It’s a huge honour, but he’s dreading it! What if he can’t get the fire lit? Maybe he’d better practise a bit beforehand. Turns out that it's not hard at all to get the fire started, but it's definitely impossible to to stop it again... Sir Bang and his fellow knight Sir Rosebush head into the forest, but before they know it, they’ve been sent to Klampenburg Castle to look for Zippo, the Dragon’s little nephew. Zippo has been kidnapped by none other than Blackbeard, the wickedest robber in the country! It turns into quite the trek. The horses are on strike, so the knights have to use the horse-replacement service –cows! When they finally arrive, they’re keener on spending time at the robbers’ market, with its almost-authentic rubies and rabbit’s feet, than on infiltrating the band of robbers and saving Zippo. But fortunately, help arrives from an unexpected quarter…

The Billy Goats Gruff and Santa

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The goats attend the Christmas tree lighting. They eat gingerbread and talk to their friends, and everyone is excited for Santa to come. But Santa has never visited the goats. Maybe he can’t find their home? Or doesn’t have the energy to walk up the steep hill? Or maybe it’s because the smallest goat is a little scared of Santa? No, probably not that. But if they write their wish list and send it to Santa, THEN maybe he will come! As soon as they think it, they do it. What they want most of all is a sled with a steering wheel. On Christmas Eve they eat dinner, they do the dishes – and they wait. And wait. Finally, the largest goat goes outside to get some firewood. Then FINALLY someone knocks on their door… «The illustrations are lively and full of action. A lot happens on the pages, and the colors splash and will light up every child's room. It's hard not to laugh along, and with the right narrator, the book will be a clear Christmas favourite.»KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD (Denmark), five/five stars

Rabbit Heart

Gro Dahle

An impactful picture book about separation anxiety and being scared. Some people are scared of the dark. Some are scared of snakes and spiders, or clowns and goblins with beards. Some are scared of cramped rooms and that the lift will get stuck. Others are scared of large, hairy dogs on the side of the road. Caro is scared that mum will leave. Because when mum leaves, her rabbit heart begins to pound. Everyone is scared of something, grandma says. And those who are scared, are also brave. But Caro’s rabbit heart is pounding faster and faster, so fast that Caro can hardly breathe. Caro can’t think, she can’t speak, she can only kick and cry and shriek and hit! Caro must listen to her rabbit heart. Rabbit Heart is an important and clever picture book from Gro Dahle, beautifully illustrated by Kaia Dahle Nyhus. Nobel art«Lines, colors and formats carry the theme from the first to the last page. Congratulations!»TØNSBERGS BLAD, six/six stars

How to Talk About Death

How to Talk About Death

Anna Fiske

Death is next up in Anna Fiske’s How series. This is a topic that children are curious about, and which adults may find difficult to discuss. What actually happens with the body when you die? What’s a funeral? And why do we even have to die? Anna Fiske has an incredibly unique form of communicating, and in How to Talk About Death she speaks to the children at their level and takes them seriously, while also managing to write a heart-warming, inclusive and at times even funny book about death. A perfect conversation starter for anyone who has questions about death, or who knows someone who’s passed away. The How-series has been a phenomenal success both in Norway and abroad, and it has been translated into multiple languages. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN Useful and concrete about death "Children and adults grieve differently, and Fiske’s book is wide-open with tolerance and understanding. Fiske does what she does best: illustrates and explains in clear and thorough manner – and at the same time, simply and straightforwardly." VÅRT LAND
