In What’s It Like to Be a Child?, acclaimed author and illustrator Anna Fiske explores the joys, challenges, and wonders of childhood with her signature warmth, humour, and insight. With honesty and empathy, she dives into both everyday moments and big questions – from feeling left out, to growing up, to understanding the world around you. Fiske speaks directly to children in a way that makes them feel seen, respected, and included. This is a book full of care, curiosity, and celebration – a beautiful reminder that being a child is not just a phase, but a world of its own.

Little Lion

Anna Fiske

Little Lion is smaller than a cherry, but bigger than a grain of rice. Little Lion is a tiny treasure! Mum says I shouldn't love something so tiny, because small things can easily get lost. That I should leave Little Lion at home when we leave the house. But Little Lion fits perfectly inside my mitten! 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. Through exceptional illustrations and a simple, yet powerful story, she takes us on a journey through loss, hope and love. «... a straight up charming book that takes the children's emotions seriously, while also being light-hearted and inviting in its expression.»KLASSEKAMPEN

My Life As A Cat

Elin Hansson

Freaky Friday with cats On her 11th birthday, Katja gets more than she bargained for when she wishes she were a cat. The next morning, she wakes up with four paws, whiskers, and a tail – she has switched bodies with her beloved cat, Kitty! But life as a cat in Lion Hill is far more dangerous than Katja imagined. All summer, cats have been disappearing from the neighbourhood. Is there a cat-catcher on the loose? Or something even worse – a cat killer? Together with her best friend Carl-Otto and Kitty (now stuck in Katja’s body), Katja must solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim. But how do you investigate a feline crime spree when your mum is a busy mayor, your dad a distracted brain surgeon, and your older sister only cares about social media? My Life as a Cat is a magical yet down-to-earth story, filled with humour, heart and suspense. With striking illustrations by Oda Valle, the book takes readers on an adventure that combines the warmth of Astrid Lindgren with the whimsical imagination of Roald Dahl. A funny and gripping tale about identity, family, and friendship for everyone who loves cats and great stories!
