Magnhild Winsnes - Selected Title Author

What inspired you to make this book?
I wanted to create a book where children and adults could dive into the wonderful chaos of a kindergarten together. When I started writing this book, I had two daughters in kindergarten. Now, one of them has already started first grade. As a parent, you live so intensely with your children, and the people who work in the kindergarten almost become an extension of the family. They are talked about at the dinner table, they comfort, joke, and play with the kids, and they help build a safe foundation for the journey ahead. This book is a tribute to the world that children and adults create together in a kindergarten.
Who is this book for?
This book can appeal to several age groups—from the youngest children who are about to start kindergarten to older kids in their first year of primary school who want to reminisce about their kindergarten days. The structure of the book is designed to be familiar to children, mirroring the flow of a typical kindergarten day, with simple words and expressions that are easy to understand.
