Mappa and Barni

Erik Wennstam & Julia Hansson

It’s Monday morning, and Barni pulls up the blinds and lets the sunlight in. A new week awaits outside. But Mappa is in a difficult mood and doesn’t want to go to work at all. Barni must coax and persuade, and eventually, they set off. Outside Mappa’s office, more children arrive to drop off their parents at work. A kind office manager greets the adults with color pencils, funny charts, and other important things. Maybe it will be a good day after all? Mappa waves goodbye, and Barni hurries to his preschool and his friends.

Who is big and who is small? An everyday drama about reversed roles and silly adults to giggle at. Mappa and Barni is an idiosyncratic, colorful, and warmly humorous picture book.
