Oskar and Me, and All the Things We Have
Oskar og eg. Alle tinga vi har
Maria Parr’s highly anticipated sequel to her successful children’s book Oskar and Me, and All the Places We Are continues the heartwarming story of siblings Oskar and Ida. The new book, titled Oskar and Me, and all the Things We Have, follows the adventures of first-grader Oskar and his fourth-grader sister Ida as they navigate new challenges in their everyday lives. Oskar has grown more confident after nearly a year in first grade, mastering classroom teddy bears, cycling, and doing his homework. Meanwhile, his older sister Ida faces the complexities of growing up, questioning what’s considered cool or uncool. The story masterfully weaves together universal themes through everyday details like alost dinosaur, bicycles, and hand-me-down clothes.
