Ellinor Finds a Dragon Egg

Camilla Victoria Storm

Ellinor lives in the forest with mum, dad, and her triplet brothers. One day Ellinor finds an egg in the forest which turns out to have a small dragon inside. Ellinor is extremely excited about her discovery and brings the dragon home. Mum and dad are completely exhausted from several nights awake with the triplets and think they are imagining things—dragons don’t exist after all. The parents continue their day-to-day as usual, which gives Ellinor time to get to know her dragon better. She names it Eldar. Ellinor doesn’t know much about dragons, but she has heard they can fly. But how can she, a human child, teach a dragon to use its wings? What do dragons even eat? And where did Eldar come from? Are there more dragons in the forest?

Children's Books2023 · 48 pp · Age 3 - 6

Rabbit Heart

Gro Dahle

An impactful picture book about separation anxiety and being scared. Some people are scared of the dark. Some are scared of snakes and spiders, or clowns and goblins with beards. Some are scared of cramped rooms and that the lift will get stuck. Others are scared of large, hairy dogs on the side of the road. Caro is scared that mum will leave. Because when mum leaves, her rabbit heart begins to pound. Everyone is scared of something, grandma says. And those who are scared, are also brave. But Caro’s rabbit heart is pounding faster and faster, so fast that Caro can hardly breathe. Caro can’t think, she can’t speak, she can only kick and cry and shriek and hit! Caro must listen to her rabbit heart. Rabbit Heart is an important and clever picture book from Gro Dahle, beautifully illustrated by Kaia Dahle Nyhus. Nobel art«Lines, colors and formats carry the theme from the first to the last page. Congratulations!»TØNSBERGS BLAD, six/six stars

How to Talk About Death
Children's Books2023 · 80 pp · Age 3 - 6

How to Talk About Death

Anna Fiske

Death is next up in Anna Fiske’s How series. This is a topic that children are curious about, and which adults may find difficult to discuss. What actually happens with the body when you die? What’s a funeral? And why do we even have to die? Anna Fiske has an incredibly unique form of communicating, and in How to Talk About Death she speaks to the children at their level and takes them seriously, while also managing to write a heart-warming, inclusive and at times even funny book about death. A perfect conversation starter for anyone who has questions about death, or who knows someone who’s passed away. The How-series has been a phenomenal success both in Norway and abroad, and it has been translated into multiple languages. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN Useful and concrete about death "Children and adults grieve differently, and Fiske’s book is wide-open with tolerance and understanding. Fiske does what she does best: illustrates and explains in clear and thorough manner – and at the same time, simply and straightforwardly." VÅRT LAND

The Knights Go For Gold
Children's Books2023 · 56 pp · Age 3 - 9

The Knights Go For Gold

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The two little knights are back, just in time for the large knight tournament. And just like last time there is some seriousness beneath all the silliness: Why can’t girls do the same as boys? And does one HAVE to be tough and brave, just because one is a boy? The Middle Ages are almost at an end, after all! It’s the annual knight tournament in Klampenburg, and Sir Rosebush and Sir Bang have been training for a whole year. They’ve probably snuck away a bit too because it’s a little dangerous to do both sword fighting and archery – not to mention jousting. (That’s when someone tries to push the other one down from the horse with a long pole.) They don’t really want to take part, but Princess Begonia does! The problem is just that the King has said she’s not allowed to take part because she’s a girl. So the two little knights must help her to secretly prepare for the tournament. They have to train her for the exercises and find armour that will hide her face. Neither of those things are easy! Bjørn F. Rørvik is a master at silly humour with a good undertone, his stories are a joy to read out loud and in this book there’s loads of fun for children and adults. Camilla Kuhn has her own twist on the knights – they are recognisable, but still a little bit different from last time.

Sofia finds a song

Marit Larsen

In the middle of the hubbub of the busy city she lives in, Sofia discovers a mysterious melody. It stands out from all the other noises, it shines, it lights up, it has its own colour, it sneaks up through the city like a magical wind with a melody in it. It creeps through the streets and up through the floor she stands on, inside the soles of her shoes, it tickles her toes, her feet must dance, they are not able to stop, it’s as if the song is dancing with her rather than the other way around. But where is the sound coming from? In Sofia Finds a Song we’re taken on an adventure to find a melody with magnetic powers. Because when you find your own song, it is yours forever.
