My Beating Heart
Children's Books2011 · 208 pp · Age 9+

My Beating Heart

Alf Kjetil Walgermo

My beating heart deals with life at its finest and also its most awful. Amanda is fourteen years old and in love. At the same time, a dangerous illness threatens to rob her of everything: love and hope of being loved, life itself. But this is not a story about illness. It is a love story. What is it like for a young girl in love to be waiting for a heart transplant? ‘My beating heart is both a description of illness and an extremely well told love story. … It is realistic, sad and romantic at the same time.’ Litteraturavisen Bokstaver ‘Alf Kjetil Walgermo creates a dramatic story filled with hope and doubt – the sometimes optimistic alternating with increasingly depressive periods. … That reader hardly exists who is unaffected – and who does not feel the strain on the body it is to live in uncertainty everyday – when one is young and should have a long life to live. … My beating heart has an intense nerve – written with empathy and insight.’ Gjengangeren ‘A beautiful and funny book to get wiser from.’ Stavanger Aftenblad ‘My beating heart philosophizes on the relation body and soul in such a simple way, so elegantly. … Alf Kjetil Walgermo has written a book with both heart and brain.’ Barnebokkritikk

Sigbjørn Mostue

The burden falls on Simen. This is the first book in a fantastic, new trilogy from the author behind the prize-winning series Alvetegnet. ‘[Sigbjørn Mostue has] a firm grip on the plot, and has come up with a story full of suspense and drive.

Step on it, Ine!

Tore Renberg / Øyvind Torseter

This is the first volume in a new series of picture books by Tore Renberg and Øyvind Torseter. Ine and Hasse are sister and brother. Ine is the older one and can fix everything. Hasse doesn’t say much, only «yes» or «tractor». They are going to cut down a tree in the forest and Ine carries the axe, of course. Soon, all the forest animals turn up to find out what’s going on. The text is playful and charming, with overtones of jingles. The beautiful illustrations are based on cut-and-fold technique. One of the most exciting picture books in 2010! Gi gass, Ine received the Ministry of Culture’s Award for Best Picture Book 2010. ‘Perfect! … A beautiful and clever picture book. … Words and illustrations are in close dialogue throughout the book. The style, both verbal and visual, is innovative, poetic, playful. Renberg/Torseter make a good team…’Dagbladet

Hello Planet!

Anna Fiske

A new book to follow the smart, popular Hallo jorda! and Hallo byen! They are all «mingle-books», which provide unending interest – always something new to look at, or a new character to find out about. A creature settles on the planet because it is so peaceful, but, as time passes, new things keep happening, and more and more folk are moving in. Is there another planet somewhere? It is an impressive universe that is displayed in Hallo, planeten! And it is described with a great sense of humour. The pictures tell many stories in the same image.

What?
Children's Books2010 · 64 pp · Age 3 - 9

What?

Anna Fiske

The idea behind Hæ? is that both children and people with learning difficulties should be ableto enjoy it. The book is designed as a series of guessing exercises: you are shown a small part of an object or a place and asked to guess what the whole is like. The answer is shown on the next page.The idea has turned into a splendid book, unusual and varied, illustrated by a mixture of photographs and drawings. The answers are accompanied by amusing comments on the pictures. ‘Hallo Planeten! and HÆ? show a most welcome talent for passing on art on children’s own terms, without forgetting the adults who share the reading experience with the children. In other words, Anna Fiske has grown into a picture book artist who meets most requirements for becoming a well-deserved commercial success and a favorite among the critics.’Barnebokkritikk
