For kids ages 5 and up
Lotta is four years old. She has a brother, Jonas, a sister, Mia-Maria, and two very patient parents. Then there is Nounours, the stuffed pig from whom she cannot be separated, and her charming neighbor Madame Berg.
Little Lotta has a lot of zany ideas. One day, she decides to leave because she thinks she is old enough to live by herself.
Another time, she plants herself on a pile of manure under the rain in order to grow quickly like potatoes do.
Never short on mischief, she says “almost bad words” and likes beignets, lemonade, and above all else, escapades and hugs.
Emerging from the pen of the cheeky Astrid Lindgren, these 15 playful, tender, and fanciful stories are a hymn to the freedom of childhood and are beautifully accompanied by irresistible and vivacious illustrations by Beatrice Alemagna.
