Why doesn’t the moon fall down?
Children's Books2023 · 64 pp · Age 6 - 12

Why doesn’t the moon fall down?

Dennis Siva Lie

We’re back with 52 new questions children often ask, this time about science. How much does a cloud weigh? Who invented the internet? How many trees do we need to make one toilet roll? And why does the slice of bread with Nutella always fall with the Nutella-side down? Dennis Siva answers these questions, and 48 others. Siva is a biologist and known from the children’s science programme Newton, and is skilled at explaining science to kids. Why doesn’t the moon fall down? is educational, easy to understand and humorously illustrated, and a perfect for beginning to teach science to children aged 6–9. The entire series is illustrated by Leonard Furuberg, who has a playful and accessible style reminiscent of Pixar/ Disney animation.

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 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.
