Rocky Bom
Children's Books2026 · 56 pp · Age 3 - 6

Rocky Bom

Anna Fiske

New picture book from critically acclaimed author and illustrator Anna Fiske! Rocky Bom is a hairy monster who lives in the bathroom drain. He has long teeth, sharp nails and other pointy things that he pokes out of the drain. No one else knows about Rocky Bom, and probably no one but you will ever believe that he exists. So then what, when he makes you frightened that you're too scared to go to the bathroom? Rocky Bom is a fun picture book by one of Norway's most renowned children's author-illustrators. The book is a little scary and just the right amount of thrilling. It's a story about being afraid of something, believing no one else in the world shares your fear, and about the courage you can find when you decide to take matters into your own hands. "In Anna Fiske’s work, imagination can offer a path thorugh fear:Rocky Bom is a conversation starter about irrational fear – and a guide to overcoming it. Text and illustrations complement each other, right down to the blurb on the back of the book, which offers an additional entry point into the story [...] Overall, the author understands their target audience exceptionally well […] The sum of it all is visually rich and thoroughly crafted."MORGENBLADET

Anna Fiske

Little Lion is smaller than a cherry, but bigger than a grain of rice. Little Lion is a tiny treasure! Mum says I shouldn't love something so tiny, because small things can easily get lost. That I should leave Little Lion at home when we leave the house. But Little Lion fits perfectly inside my mitten! All day Little Lion is with me: in the pocket of my jacket, on our way to kindergarten and on the bus. But suddenly Little Lion is gone. The days become gray and sad, and everything feels meaningless without Little Lion. But one day on our way to the bus Mum finds Little Lion on the ground! Thankfully! But, when Little Lion once more disappears, down the sink this time, it is gone forever. One would think it would be easier to lose something a second time, but that's not true. It was only Little Lion who wanted to say goodbye before leaving for good. Where did Little Lion swim off to? It can be anywhere. But Little Lion still lives on in my heart and my thoughts. Anna Fiske has made a touching and insightful picture book about how tender, and also beautiful, it is to be a child and love a toy. Through exceptional illustrations and a simple, yet powerful story, she takes us on a journey through loss, hope and love. «... a straight up charming book that takes the children's emotions seriously, while also being light-hearted and inviting in its expression.»KLASSEKAMPEN
