Roose Lagerkranz is the most recognized and famous children's writer of modern Sweden, winner of many awards. The Dunne and Happiness series has been translated into dozens of languages and is included in the list of the best children's books. It would not be an exaggeration to say that millions of readers aged 6 to 8 have already fallen in love with the charming and slightly naive heroine with all their hearts - and with her they have fallen in love with literature. Dunne didn’t even notice how six months of her second grade flew by: school was so interesting, especially in drawing and reading lessons! Moreover, the boy Küdde dreams of sitting at the same desk with Dunne - but no, this place should be empty: suddenly Ella-Frida returns to Stockholm. Being apart from her best friend is the only thing that makes a happy little girl a little sad. But the heroine will remember the winter holidays for a long time: she will pluck up courage and go to Ella Frida’s birthday party herself, without adults!
Books by Ruse Lagerkranz are great for first independent reading: the font is large, the chapters are short, the illustrations by Eva Erikson are uplifting.
