One day Lasse read in the newspaper that in Stockholm they had Children's Day. And then Lasse said that we should do Children's Day in Bullerby too. "We'll do Children's Day for Kerstin," said Lasse. "If we make fun for Kerstin a whole day, so maybe she can stop following us all the other days, when we want to be alone and play.”
A standalone picture book about the children in Bullerby, illustrated by Ilon Wikland.
Fakta
The first to bring Astrid Lindgren's books abroad was the publisher Damm & Søn in Oslo, with their Norwegian edition of "Pippi Longstocking" already appearing in 1946. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Today, most of her books in Norway are published by Cappelen Damm, a publishing house formed through the merger of Cappelen and Damm. Astrid's book adaptations into films also became popular in Norway, as did her famous songs. One of Astrid Lindgren's favorite books was "Hunger" by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun; she often mentioned it as one of her greatest reading experiences.
