Two Little Knights and a Princess in Love

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Two little knights are in England to celebrate the Queen's centenary. Not because any of them want to, but because Rosebush and Bang are going on their annual trip, and the King has asked (more like ordered) them to bring Princess Begonia with them. Begonia really doesn't want to go to the centenary, but the King is desperate to keep her away from the crooner Snubbe Karlsson. Begonia is head over heels for him, and the King is not happy about it. How that became Rosebush and Bang's problem is a question neither of them can answer, but the mission is unchanged: They must bring Begonia on their annual trip, keep her happy and avoid any embarrassing scenes. It's a mission that's doomed to fail.

Go Away!

Gro Dahle

"Go away!" Borre says when Mini arrives at kindergarten. "There's no room for you. You're too small. You can't join us. Go away!" Borre’s voice is loud and strong. His words are like a tall fence, a closed door, a locked gate. The words bruise and break, crush and cut and clip. But luckily, Mini has Grandpa. And Grandpa isn’t just Grandpa – he’s also a wizard. Because Grandpa can do magic with words and speak the language of wizards. "It’s important to find words that shine in the dark," says Grandpa. Because everyone needs words that open doors, and words that dare to ask for help. Words like hello, come in, join us, sorry. These are the bravest words we have. Gro Dahle is one of Norway’s most renowned and beloved picture book authors, with a unique gift for expressing painful and difficult themes in an intimate, poetic way.Go Away! is a powerful story about exclusion and bullying among the very youngest children and about the tools we can use to create inclusion, empathy, and understanding.

All day Little Lion is with me: in the pocket of my jacket, on our way to kindergarten and on the bus. But suddenly Little Lion is gone. The days become gray and sad, and everything feels meaningless without Little Lion. But one day on our way to the bus Mum finds Little Lion on the ground! Thankfully! But, when Little Lion once more disappears, down the sink this time, it is gone forever. One would think it would be easier to lose something a second time, but that's not true. It was only Little Lion who wanted to say goodbye before leaving for good. Where did Little Lion swim off to? It can be anywhere. But Little Lion still lives on in my heart and my thoughts. Anna Fiske has made a touching and insightful picture book about how tender, and also beautiful, it is to be a child and love a toy.
