Garmann's Street

Stian Hole

The first book about Garmann, Garmanns Sommer, won both hearts and awards, such as the BolognaRagazzi Award, the first book from the Nordic countries to do so. Garmann has now started at school and the world seems even more unsafe. ‘Are you a wimp? Light it!’ says the horrible Rolf to Garmann. The grass fire at the stamp man’s house is put out and Garmann realises that friendships are made when you least expect it. *Beautifully illustrated using the same techniques as inGarmann’s Summer. ‘A work of art in itself … Now [Stian Hole] is ready with a new book about Garmann, and it has become just as great as the first one.’NRK‘Still world class … So consistent it is time to start talking about a Hole universe of its own.’Bergens Tidende

Hello Earth!

Anna Fiske

Hello Earth! is a search and find book. We follow six people on Earth for 16 hours. The reader can also find a lot of other things that happen or change from one hour to the next. For example, the small red car that’s always going the wrong way, or the giraffe that’s eating nearly all the leaves on the tree, and the lady who’s knitting a really long scarf; all these can be found in the book. The pictures are alive with details, and this is a book that you can read over and over again and still find something new. This is a lovely picture book for both children and adults. 'This is the kind of book that both children and adults enjoy reading. Children are often better than adults at finding the tiny details and this book is a treasure trove of details. …Anna Fiske’s world is filled with humorous characters and surprises, and the drawings are extremely charming.'AFTENPOSTEN 'Hallo Jorda! is simply ingenious as well as original ... A little gem of a book!’Oppland Areiderblad ‘Will doubtlessly become a source of joy for many!’ADRESSEAVISEN
