Emma Adbåge





A always says that our kids will grow up in a different age having only books, toys and games from a bygone time. Well, my problem is that I don't know the contemporary authors and illustators of children's books - so I tend to fall for titles and pictures I'm already familiar with (also because the classical children's books really are that good!)

I have been following Emma Adbåge's nice blog for a while, and I love her fine, funny and whimsical illustrations, so I had no doubts when I found one of her books on a book sale a while ago.
"Fylde år" (litteral translation: "Filling years" which is the Danish/Swedish expression for becoming a year older) is a very nice book that ponds about time, birthdays and different ages in a sweet and fun philosophical way. Frida Viola already loves it and it has spun lots of questions and thoughts on the concept of time.

  2. Sophie - jeg tror det var Bog & Idé. Det er nogle måneder siden, jeg købte den, men ofte har de jo et bord med nedsatte børnebøger, så måske du kan være heldig endnu. Den kostede ikke mere end 30 kr., så vidt jeg husker. Den er ret fin - både til de små, men også større børn, og der er så meget at snakke om bare ud fra billederne. Vi fik forøvrigt også et par af Ida Jessens bøger om Carl til Molly i dåbsgave - de har været på ønskesedlen, efter du anbefalede dem :)
