Why you should absolutely buy this children's book!

There are not many picture books that make us cry. But "Little" by Stina Wirsén is such a book. In simple words and very touching pictures, the Swedish author talks about what it's like for a small child when it experiences quarrels, aggression and neglect at home. A topic that rarely meets us in toddler literature - and that is so incredibly important.

The problem with such a book is that it only addresses a few parents in the store. Such a difficult topic? And that does not affect us at all. That's what many think.
