We're over the moon! Mine! A Story of Not Sharing by Klara Persson, illustrated by Charlotte Ramel and translated by Nichola Smalley, has been picked as one of The New York Times' favourite back-to-school books.
"Humor can be a great antidote for didacticism, and this Swedish import about the eternal challenge of sharing will have children (and grown-ups) laughing at the ridiculousness of taking selfishness to the extreme. Sally’s friend Nico is coming over, but Sally has a few things she doesn’t want Nico to play with: her squirrel stuffy, the toy train, the blankets, also the bed. As the list of untouchables grows to include the toilet, the refrigerator and Sally’s own mother, readers will recognize the silliness of keeping everything to oneself."
