Where Do Words Come From?
Children's Books2023 · 128 pp · Age 9+

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.

Children's Books2023 · 80 pp · Age 3 - 6

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
