Who’s baby?
Who’s baby?
Stina Wirsén, illustrated by Stina WirsénThe cat is adopted. His mummy and daddy so wanted a child and in the end they went and got the cat. They were so happy!
And now the cat has grown up and the cat’s mummy is as round as a ball. Because now she has a baby in her tummy. But who is going to keep it?
There are already twelve books about the teddy, the cat, the teddy-pig and the others.
Sold in over a million copies in Sweden alone, Stina Wirsén’s Who series deals with important and difficult topics with impressive simplicity and commitment for both young and old. With sensitivity and a genuine interest for the child’s perspective, Wirsén is masterful at finding the conflict and drama in everyday situations and guiding both the child and parent through all of life’s big emotions.
The stories are seemingly straight-forward, but never one to shy away from the complexity of life, the Who series tackles questions of grief, frustration, jealousy, loneliness, excitement, and joy, always written with warmth and humour. A Swedish Modern Family for children, the family constellations are a reflection of our time, with single mothers and fathers, stepparents, nuclear families and families of two moms or dads. Wirsén is known and beloved for writing the world as it is, rather than how we wish it would be, perfectly suited for the age group without sugar-coating reality.
