Who Was Alfred Nobel?

Karen Kilane

He patented 355 inventions, big and small, throughout his life, the most famous of which was dynamite. But Alfred also invented something completely different: a peace prize! Today, it is the most important peace prize in the world. It is rather strange that the very same man who invented weapons spent his whole life wanting so badly to be of service to others. This biography of Alfred Nobel is an easy-to-read book filled with inventions, loud bangs, humor, and tenderness. It is a story showing that even if life doesn’t always turn out as planned, it can still turn out beautifully. A fully illustrated and accessible book about a fascinating person.

Olav and the Letters

Erlend Loe / Tore Rem

Little Olav is not like most other kids. He's a prince, and one day he will be king! Olav is really great at doing ski jumps, but reading, not so much. Even though he practises and practises, the letters jumble together and become incomprehensible. Don't you need to be able to read to be an adult? How can he be king if he cannot read? Olav and the Letters is a wonderful story for kids and adults, and a great conversation starter for parents or teachers who need a tool to talk about dyslexia. «Nyhus’s intricate visual interpretations transform the book into a fascinating and engaging seek-and-find book, packed with surprises and discoveries that can make inexperienced readers feel smart (...) Here we are talking about the joy of reading regardless of skill level. The two-page spreads are a visual tour de force, featuring illustrations rich in contrasts and contradictions.»Klassekampen «A super-trio have put their heads together and created a delightful and wonderfully illustrated picture book about King Olav's dyslexia.»(...)«The theme appeals to young and old alike. The book shows that everyone struggles with something. No one is just what you see, as the saying goes. Even the privileged Prince Olav has trouble with those darn letters.»Dagbladet The book is a marvel«A superb example of litterature that can start conversations and offer reflections across generations.»NRK, five/six stars
