Here I am at the charming bookstore ”Bokslukaren” by Mariatorget, reading for a whole bunch of kids from my latest picture book ”Sigrid och Natten” (Sigrid and the Night). I had a giant version of my book made for the event. Hopefully this was the first of many readings like it…

So, my newest picture book ”Sigrid och Natten” (Sigrid and the Night) is finally out. There have been lots of great reviews so far, for which I’m ever so grateful. Here are links to a few of them (all are in Swedish):
