The Bicycle Thief

Gro Nilsdatter Røsth

'We need to help them,' says Sanna as they are eating supper. 'Yes of course,' says Dad. Mum has an idea: 'There must be many children at school who have bikes they have grown out of. Perhaps the reception centre can use them? Sanna got a new bicycle for her birthday, but next morning it is gone! It turns out that a boy from the asylum centre has taken it. He wants to give it to his sister, who is so unhappy. When Sanna and her dad go to the centre to fetch the bicycle back, Sanna sees how sad the children are, and she really wants to do something to help them. But she can't really give them her bike. Then Mum has a good idea. Gro Røsth has written many books for new readers, Sandra Pliny-Lockertsen is making her debut as an illustrator. The result is a heart-warming and recognisable story which has suddenly become unhappily topical.

Plastic waste in the sea

Kirsti Blom / Geir Wing Gabrielsen

Paper and apple cores break up quickly in the sea, but plastic doesn't. We're producing more and more plastic every year. Researchers think that there are around 100 million tons of plastic floating around in the sea. In thirty years, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea if we carry on dumping at the same rate as we are now. What can we do? Researchers are working to find ways to collect up all the millions of tons that are floating out at sea. And it's urgent!

Children’s Book about Astrid Lindgren

Agnes-Margrethe Bjorvand

This book about Astrid Lindgren is an inspiring illustrated biography that provides children with knowledge about the person, author, editor and dedicated contributor to the community that Astrid Lindgren was. Through stories, quotes, facts and magical illustrations, we become familiar with one of the world's greatest children's authors. The book follows a classic chronological development from Astrid's happy childhood to her old age in Stockholm. The book explores important, exciting and humorous episodes in Astrid's life and work. We learn about her love of nature, her lifelong joy of playing and climbing trees, reading and writing, and fighting for children's and animal rights. But we also learn about her life's many dark moments – her life as a young and impoverished single mother, her longing for love, and – as she so often expressed it – the experience of «how difficult it can be to be human». This biography is a unique starting point for inspiring new generations to read Astrid Lindgren's books. ‘… a rock-solid and beautifully illustrated biography for children. … Small details and big topics are told with the same interest and enthusiasm, and Bjorvand's detailed knowledge makes the biography intimate and entertaining. Lisa Aisato, the illustrator, shows great skill as a visual artist. The tightly written and inspired text and the fine art illustrations together capture the tone of Lindgren's life and universe and make the biography of the year a pure joy.’ DAGBLADET ‘This book is a pleasure to behold.’ FÆDRELANDSVENNEN
