The Coffee Cod
Children's Books2020 · 64 pp · Age 6 - 9

The Coffee Cod

Lena Lindahl

The Lofoten fishing season is underway and everybody wants to catch this year’s coffee cod – a fish weighing over 30 kilos that will earn them a kilo of coffee. The sea’s no place for little kids, say the fishermen, but Tora just scoffs at that. Because she’s ten and can do absolutely anything. Or at least that’s what Mum tells her. Tora sneaks off in the little boat and heads out to catch a coffee cod. But the sea is wild and the obstacles are many. A beautiful, fully illustrated story about brave girls, choppy seas and enormous cod.

The Clown Who Really Wasn’t Very Funny

Kim Fupz Aakeson

And it’s about how not everything has to be funny, noisy and action-packed all the time. You should sit very still while you look and read! It’ll make you a better person.POLITIKEN, DK The collaboration between Kim Fupz Aakeson of Stian Hole is a meeting of masters within the genre of Nordic picture books. WEEKENDAVISEN, DK

Now or Never, Rikka
Children's Books2020 · 144 pp · Age 9 - 12

Now or Never, Rikka

Maiken Nylund

About being ten, with a mum in one town and a dad in another – and a very sweet boy living next door. Just as Rikka walks out of the door, Jimmy comes cycling up the hill. Rikka bounds down the steps in two leaps and sits on the fence that separates their yards. She’s freezing, but that doesn’t matter. She hopes he’ll never leave. That he’ll stay here with her for the rest of the day. Maiken Nylund made her debut last year with Rikke for Real and Forever and this is the sequel. This time, there’s a bit more about being in love, but also about having divorced parents, about younger siblings and cousins, and about nasty classmates who’ll do pretty much anything to make sure that Jimmy won’t discover Rikka. Maiken Nylund has an incredible talent for dealing with the topics that concern her target group – and does it with a voice and intimacy that really hit home.

Olliana is yet another important and wise picture book from Gro Dahle, asking whether you’re a boy or a girl – and what happens if you dare to be yourself. The book is beautifully and originally illustrated by Kaia Dahle Nyhus.Topic: gender confusion in children; adults’ expectations of boys and girls.
