Marius Lien

The coolest heroes are the ones who are brave enough to take action off the field too. The biggest sporting stars are major celebrities.

They want to make the world a better place. And they choose to do so in different ways. In this book readers will meet heroes like Muhammad Ali, who was jailed for opposing the Vietnam War, Marcus Rashford who fights for free school meals in the United Kingdom, and Ingrid Olsdatter Vestby, the first female ski-jumper, who paved the way for other women.

Where Do Words Come From?

Ingebjørg Tonne / Helene Uri

Our language is around us all the time, and we use hundreds of words every single day. Some words are funny to pronounce, some are complicated, some sound foreign. But where do they really come from? Etmyology is the study of the history of the form of words – the history of and the history about words. Many think it’s exciting knowing where words come from, and in this beautifully illustrated book, big and small readers get lots of interesting material to frolic in. Because the ciabatta does after all taste extra good when you know the word really means ‘slipper’ in Italian. And maybe you’ll jump up even quicker when the fire alarm sounds, and you know that alarm means ‘to weapon’? Windows are wind eyes, a hole where the wind can blow through. Shampoo is a Hindi word, which means to massage.

All About Periods

Silje Sirnes Winje

Norwegian girls are ashamed of their period. A recent survey shows that more than half of us find it embarrassing to talk about our period. 62 per cent of us have received comments linking our mood to our period, and 82 per cent of 15 to 19-year-olds feel dirty when they have their period. A woman has more than 450 periods, or 2,250 days of menstruation, in one lifetime. We cannot accept that there are so many days in girls’ and women’s lives where many feel ashamed or are excluded from opportunities that boys and men have.16 famous Norwegian women and girls tell the story of the first time they had their period, and each story is accompanied by a fact box about different aspects of having a period.

Handbook for Young Antiracists

Tinashe Williamson

Handbook for young antiracists by Tinashe Willamson put the spotlight on the important topic of racism. Through ten chapters and ten fictional characters Williamson answers questions about what racism really is, why representation is important and what you can do if someone is discriminated against because of the colour of their skin. Racism is a complicated topic for grown-ups to navigate, and many find it hard to talk to their children about it. For what can you say? Where do you begin? This engaging, including and thorough book is written in the form of a diary, with tasks and conversations that the children can easily bring up at home or with their friends or classmates. The goal is to pass on the knowledge to the generation that is growing up now, to give them the feeling that they have the power to change the world. Together we are stronger, and by just acknowledging the problem we can do something about it. This is the perfect book on the topic for children 9 years and up, and it works just as well at home as in a teaching situation. Tinashe Williamson has written a book that is easy to understand and utterly engaging. The book obviously has great potential to start important conversations between people from different generations. DAGBLADET

Heroes of Divorce

Trude Trønnes Eidsvold / Rosa von Krogh

This book is written for anyone who has been through their parents’ separation or knows someone else who has. The book aims to be a guide and a tool for children and adults, to pave the way for positive conversations and to raise awareness of the child’s right to a place in the story of a divorce. The book is structured around five stories of fictional children, along with expert advice from school nurses, lawyers and psychologists. You will meet Marja, Lukas, Jakub, Emma and Ingrid, who all have two homes. Marja is having a bit of a rough time, with a dad who gets drunk and a mum who doesn’t know anything about it. Lukas has two parents who don’t talk to each other, while Jakub thinks his father is mostly interested in his new family. Emma’s parents have just separated and are dong a trial run of their new life, while Ingrid has a stepfather who is unkind to her. In addition, the book has a children’s panel made up of five children who comment on the content and offer advice about the concrete problems: family, home, everyday life, conflict and achievements. The book uses stories about children from different socio-economic, family, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The aim is for this book to be relatable for as many children as possible.
