Who’s Bothering Me?

Stina Wirsén

Stina Wirsén’s beloved Who –series has a new generation of little ones. In this book we meet Little Dog who doesn’t feel like sharing his dad with someone else. Little Dog loves being with his dad. They watch TV and cuddle up on the sofa. They like the same things. But one day dad tells Little Dog that they’re going to meet someone that dad likes a lot … a Teddy-Pig. She brings buns and shows off. But Little Dog doesn’t want any new big ones at home. He wants his dad all to himself.

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.
