Översvämningen

När staden vaknar verkar allt vara som vanligt. Men något är annorlunda, det är liksom ... blött! Sakta men säkert stiger vattnet men djuren tänker inte på det utan fortsätter med sina liv som vanligt. Bara den lilla apan märker att något är fel. När vattnet till slut når en nivå som inte längre går att ignorera är flera av djuren redan under ytan. Hur ska de kunna få bort vattnet så att staden blir som vanligt igen? Den lilla apan vet: genom att hjälpas åt förstås! ÖVERSVÄMNINGEN är en ny bilderbok för 3 6 år, som med finurliga och exceptionellt vackra illustrationer, är den perfekta högläsningen för både barn och föräldrar. Samtidigt klingar sagan bekant mot bakgrund av högst aktuella situationer vi sett världen över, och sänder budskapet om att inte blunda för problem, och att vi är som allra starkast när vi jobbar tillsammans.

Lost

Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023 Shortlisted for Illustrator of the Year - British Book Awards 2025 A new book from award-winning illustrator Mariajo Ilustrajo, Lost is the story of a polar bear who finds himself lost, in a big concrete city. He politely asks the city folk for help but everyone is much too busy and impatient to help the newcomer. He finds himself travelling on the subway only to be noticed, finally by a little girl. The girl takes the homesick bear by the paw and under her innocent wing. Under the nose of her seemingly unaware mum, she feeds him dinner, gives him a bath and they read stories together. When the polar bear wistfully looks at a poster of the North Pole on her bedroom wall, the little girl realises that her friend needs help to get home. This is a story about the power friendship has to help you feel found, and even to transport you home.
