Welcome to Grandma’s by Nora Lehtinen & Mari Nikula is travelling to Denmark, where it will be published by Gads.
Wonderful news from our children’s list: Gads has secured the Danish rights to Welcome to Grandma’s by Nora Lehtinen & Mari Nikula, marking the first deal for this title.
Welcome to Grandma’s is the first in a series of picture books that celebrates the unique bond between children and grandparents. For little Miisa, spending time at Grandma’s is her favorite thing in the world: at Grandma’s there’s always something fun to do. Miisa, Grandma and Grandpa play, eat, and enjoy the garden together.
As the story advances, readers are encouraged to step in and play with Miisa bringing out their inner detective and finding objects in the pictures. The book is both sweet and highly entertaining, offering just the right balance between action and coziness to make this book an instant favourite for young readers and their (grand)parents.
Nora Lehtinen is a children’s and young adult author and communications educator. She is particularly interested in special education, plain language, and functional storytelling.
Mari Nikula is an illustrator and graphic designer whose illustrations have previously been featured in publications such as Koululainen magazine.
Welcome to Grandma’s is their first collaboration, and the book is published in Finland by Orava Books, a children’s imprint of Siltala Publishing.
Gads is an independent Danish publishing house, whose list boasts a selection of literary fiction and non-fiction titles for adults, and a collection of children’s literature for all ages.
Warmest congratulations to the authors and the publisher, and don’t miss out on this title!
