Hurray! 🤩
Mari Kanstad Johnsen is awarded the Versele Prize!

The prestigious prize, Best Children’s book in the French language 2023 (age 7+), goes to Mari Kanstad Johnsen for the magical picture book "3-2-1" 👏

Quote from the jury:
"Her daring line emerges on each page in a profusion of details, an apparently out of place line, unexpected perspectives, characters with elastic shapes, original colors. An ultra-modern style to address consumerism, the relationship to money, rivalries, the meaning given to work, vacations."

We are so proud!

What a wonderful review of the Swedish edition of Gunnhild Øyehaugs novel "Knots" in the Sweedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter:

«Few can draw the reader in and twist around perspectives like her. [...] A concise summary of the reading experience. You are spun around and sent away and lose control. Amazingly, you land with yourself afterwards. Slightly freer, and in a good mood. Possibly with a few knots fewer." Anna Hallberg, Dagens Nyheter

Geir Tangens latest critically acclaimed crime novel "Dog Days" is sold to the fantastic Danish publisher Straarup & Co 🥳 Hurray!

It's a story about power and powerlessness in intimate relationships, about violence and manipulation, about what grinds us down and how even our humanity can be put at stake when the ground crumbles beneath our feet.

About "Noor and the Miniature":
On just another day, Noor discovers something pretty unusual in the cellar: a miniature version of herself! Why on earth has Noor got a miniature?

But perhaps this is precisely what she needs, because on top of her annoying classmates and huge amounts of homework, Noor has managed to sign up for the school’s Christmas show – not that she has a clue what she’s going to perform. And when circumstances surrounding the Christmas show turn unexpectedly shady and dangerous, having a sneaky miniature on your side turns out to be a good thing.
