Bim’s World. The Night at School

Kristina Sigunsdotter & Jenny Jordahl

A new series by August Prize winner Kristina Sigunsdotter!

A major part of children’s lives take place at school, same goes for Bim. The book centers around having friends that are kind and friends that are not-so-kind, about carrying a soup of tears in your chest, and hiding in the gym for hours with someone you like. In Bim’s world there is also the artist-mom who likes to walk around naked during the summers and goes into hibernation during winters, and the really ugly dachshund Weiner.

With an unfailing eye for middle grade, Sigunsdotter creates characters and situations that makes the reader feel.

Kristina Sigunsdotter is a journalist and a writer, who was awarded the August Prize for The Secrets of Cricket Karlsson. Jenny Jordahl is one of Norway’s foremost illustrators. She illustrates Bim’s World with warm humor.
