Roy
Gro Dahle och Svein Nyhus är finstämda förmedlare av livets allvar till barn. Den här gången handlar det om hunden Roy som en dag ligger död. Det är svårt att förstå. Men var är Roy nu? Kanske är han i hundparadiset? Kanske har han blivit ett spöke? Roy är borta för alltid, men kanske finns han här ändå, han är ju i mitt huvud, tänker pojken. »Roy är en märkvärdig bilderbok, så skickligt genomförd att dess pedagogiska och psykologiska ärende inte för ett ögonblick skymmer den starka berättelsens egen konstnärliga suggestionskraft.» /Nisse Larsson i DN »DahleNyhus tre böcker för barn (och vuxna, vill jag hävda) är bland de vackraste jag läst, och det är en fröjd att någon vill ta barn på sådant allvar.» /Jenny Rydqvist i Sydsvenskan »Av bilderböcker om döden är Roy en av de bästa jag träffat på.» /Lena Kåreland i SvD »Det finns ingen slumpmässighet eller slentrian i det som uttrycks här. De här böckerna är gjorda med stor konstnärlig integritet och stor inlevelse. Man vill bara citera och citera. Böckerna ser mer än de ger sig ut för att se, ger mer än de påstår sig ge. Lösningarna erbjuds inte på bekostnad av skildringen, utan som en del av den, som en möjlighet bland andra.» /Nora Hämäläinen i Ny Tid om Gro Dahle och Svein Nyhus bilderböcker
