Rabbit Heart
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

The Whole World Must Love Us

Maria Børja

How can someone so easily believe in love and the future, when for others it’s so difficult? In The Whole World Will Love Us Maria Børja writes powerfully about relationships of power between humans and a globe in crisis. With her seven short stories the book is a follow-up to Grown Up Things (2010), which was amongst other things labelled an ‘erotic smash debut’. Sunniva moves in with the energetic, sourdough bread-baking Henning. He wants children, she imagines a future where the ground beneath her daughter’s feet is burning, and the water is so warm it has no cooling effect. A PR employee engages in a relationship with an almost twenty-years-younger civil worker. She skips work to go on a trip with him and discovers he’s preparing for a life in the woods, off-grid. While the others are sleeping, a student works as a sleep warden for strangers. She must sit with them until they fall asleep, but not get close to them. The Whole World Will Love is about relations between humans and desires, about a belief in the future which clashes with a gloomy world view, about what it means to be on the outside or have the upper hand.

What’s actually going on? How did his dad live a double life without Robin or his mum knowing about it? Who can Robin trust?

Hex

Sigbjørn Mostue

Diana is in her final year of high school and has always been good at most things – except for getting friends. Or a boyfriend. One day a new boy shows up at school, called Simon. He’s handsome and better than her at maths, and when Simon shows interest in Diana she doesn’t know what to do. She can’t understand why this charming boy everyone is talking about is interested in her. At a party Simon sneaks something into Diana’s drink and takes advantage of her while she's intoxicated. When Diana wakes up again, she discovers something awful: her reflection in the mirror shows an ugly, old woman. A witch. The witch in the mirror takes turns between comforting and yelling at Diana, and the difference between fantasy and reality is slowly dissolved. Diana’s behaviour makes those around her react negatively, and she slowly becomes more and more isolated. Online Diana looks for answers about what has happened to her and stumbles across an online community that believes witchcraft is real. Diana becomes convinced that she’s made a deal with the Devil himself, after everything that happened with Simon, and she decides to get revenge. But nothing goes according to Diana’s plan. Sigbjørn Mostue has written a dark and thrilling novel for young adults about the border between superstition, psychosis and intoxication.

What I Tell Drunk Boys Who Come Over Pretending They Don't Want To Talk About Panic Attacks

Aslak Hartberg

Every month on average six men between the ages of 20 and 30 years commit suicide in Norway, according to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Two of three who commit suicide before they turn 25 years old are men. Men are overrepresented in statistics about depression and panic attacks. Despite this they rarely ask for help. Aslak Hartberg, a Norwegian rapper, has written a book about anxiety which is especially aimed at men. The consequences of anxiety are often poorer quality of life, people staying home and in the worst cases disappearing from working life. Luckily panic attacks are possible to eradicate. The author describes his book as “a self-help book for those who do not like self-help books.” This is the personal story of Hartberg himself, about how his panic attacks took over his life. It’s not a provocatively positive self-help book with solutions and expert recipes, but instead a brutally honest story from man to man about how he found his peace and got rid of his anxiety. By using cognitive therapy, he explains what the cause of the fear is, how and why it appears, and how one can stop it. This is a personal story with a literary and captivating language, which also guides the reader along their way out of the anxiety, through theory, cognitive and physical exercises.

Where I Did Go

Silje Bergum Kinsten

Do you believe in destiny? Yes? But isn’t destiny just another way to limit yourself? The patriarchal slightly set version of “that’s just the way things are”? “Nothing you can do about it”? “You’ll have to suffer in silence”? “Life isn’t always a piece of cake”? And especially for women, of course. Who belong in the kitchen and next to their husband. In Silje Bergum Kinsten’s second novel, Where Did I Go?, the main character Anne lies awake next to her husband and is certain that she perhaps, possibly, wants something completely different, but she’s not sure what exactly. Whatever happened to the real her while she fulfilled everyone else’s expectations (marriage, career, the nuclear family, etc)? And isn’t it about time to challenge this so-called destiny?

Where Do Words Come From?

Where Do Words Come From?

Ingebjørg Tonne / Helene Uri

Our language is around us all the time, and we use hundreds of words every single day. Some words are funny to pronounce, some are complicated, some sound foreign. But where do they really come from? Etmyology is the study of the history of the form of words – the history of and the history about words. Many think it’s exciting knowing where words come from, and in this beautifully illustrated book, big and small readers get lots of interesting material to frolic in. Because the ciabatta does after all taste extra good when you know the word really means ‘slipper’ in Italian. And maybe you’ll jump up even quicker when the fire alarm sounds, and you know that alarm means ‘to weapon’? Windows are wind eyes, a hole where the wind can blow through. Shampoo is a Hindi word, which means to massage.

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
