Threads

Torill Kove

Threads is based on Torill Kove's latest animated film of the same name. A red thread lifts a woman up and leads her to a small child. The child is anxious and doesn't like to be touched, but eventually the two are tied together. We follow them through the child's upbringing – until the thread loosens and the child goes its own way. A poignant and touching story about love and attachment, told almost without a single word. The red thread of love…She let´s the thread that binds them together become longer and longer, and the bubble that surround them become bigger and bigger, before the daughter eventually breaks the bubble and severs the thread. Then something happens! The read thread becomes a small red tussle inside the both of them. A heart symbolizing the love and safe feeling they both carry with them onwards. A beautiful picture - striking and instantly understandable for both children and adults. Here Kove creates her own very original metaphor.DAGBLADET Strong Children´s book from the Norwegian Oscar-winnerIs this a story about adoption? Possibly. But the insight that is conveyed is valid in any safe relationship between children and adults. That people who love each other are bound together by threads is a beautiful and precise picture of our dependence in each other and our need to be loved and cared for.VG Warm and tenderThreads contain a story that many may relate to, and it is told with a gripping warmth and sensitivity. It is a piece of wisdom chiselled out on bright and clean pages. The relationship between mother and child is expressed wisely, and there is thoughtfulness in the portrayal.HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD Beautiful about adoption and motherly loveAs usual, Kove´s illustration is stylistic and hushed. The characters are drawn two-dimensional and in full figure, mostly in a normal perspective. The background is absent or outlined, the colour palette soft. It is obvious that the deeply personal story becomes stronger through the simple narrative. And this works! It feels like a declaration of love and a philosophy of life.AFTENPOSTEN It is really wonderful how a few small sentences can have such a deep impact and can so accurately describe what is really important in life. It is a great book to talk to children about life and unconditional love.LEESBEVORDERING IN DE KLASIt feels like a universal story about love, security, growth and independence, exactly what a human life entails from baby to adulthood. ... The love between mother and child is beautifully represented.NOORDHOLLANDS DAGBLADMoving picture book by Torill Kove about love and parenting.JEUGDBOEKHANDEL SILVESTER

Lost in outer space

Flu Hartberg

Some summer holidays aren't like others. Come along on an intergalactic journey with Arthur and his family, who whiz off into outer space in their spaceship, Starpig. Which planet is your favourite? Impossibilus? Cowboy Belt? Mechanicus Fix?While Lost in the City (Borte vekk i byen) (2011) was a picture book for children with their feet planted firmly on the ground, Lost in Outer Space (Borte vekk i verdensrommet) takes off completely. Even cooler, even more spaced out – put simply: even more Flu Hartberg. 'There is no doubt that Flu Hartberg is in his element as he gives fantasy full flow in Lost in outer space. His contribution to this genre of book is impressive in all its humorous details and fantastic constructions.'BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

Brother, sister

Thomas Marco Blatt

Bror, Søster contains a bunch of playful, simple and touching poems that deal with relationships between children, adults and old people. The book sees and perceives from the child's standpoint and shows how little everyday things contain the seeds of something big.The book is illustrated throughout by Lisa Aisato, one of Norway's foremost illustrators. 'Blatt’s poems are at their best when the poetic and the playful combine to express how intense love can be, especially for brothers and sisters. The harmonisation of words and pictures is outstanding. The drawings strengthen, confirm, supplement and develop what the poems are saying.' BOKVENNEN

The winner of the Brage Prize 2016, open class category: Nonfiction for children and young adults! Parties and Celebrations consists of five books that show how a central religious festival from world religions Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism is celebrated by today’s families with young children. The series won the Brage Prize 2016 in the open class category: nonfiction for children. The jury’s reasoning for the awarding of the Brage Prize 2016: Parties and Celebrations is a large and elaborate work that elevates the richness of cultural diversity. Describing major world religions with the biggest celebrations as an entry point is both prudent and practical when keeping in mind everyday life in kindergartens and schools. The five volumes are devoted to each religion, each with its own family and its own protagonist. The simple stories the facts are woven into are straightforward, but also contain moments of tension that are superbly adapted to the oldest kindergarteners and the youngest elementary schoolchildren. Illustrator Piotrowska expresses himself with warm colors, joyful strokes and compositions that allow the reader to constantly discover something new. The books appear aesthetically as beautiful cornucopias with a wealth of informative details. The series supports integration in practice, without it being forced upon the reader. This artistic and educational work emerges as a result of a particularly fruitful collaboration between writer and illustrator.
