A story for Life - from a big sister to a little brother
It's Christmas Eve when Polly Storm becomes a big sister. The Christmas presents have to wait under the tree when her little brother has to stay in the hospital. Polly gets to move in with Grandma for a little while. All the fun things they usually do don't work now. The waiting makes her worried thoughts complicated.
\"Make a book!\" says Grandma. \"A book for your little brother.\" Because there are things Polly's baby brother needs to know about life at Kvastbacken 3. Lots of things. Small and big. So while Grandma lights a cigar on the balcony, Polly tells her little brother about Edwin and the party where everything went wrong, about Isabella in her class, ice skating disco at IP, and about texts that never arrive.
With warm curiosity and subtly clever humor, Anna Ehring paints a portrait of an eleven-almost-twelve-year-old and her view of the world during a few snow-cold days in December when life takes a turn and puts the Christmas celebration on hold.
Anna Ehring, like few others, can depict the immense drama of everyday life. Feelings are felt, thoughts are thought, and courage is gathered. With books like the \"Drakhjärta\" series about Nisse Berg in Bagarmossen, \"Miras Martin,\" and the books about \"Sillen\" (illustrated by Moa Graaf), Anna Ehring has won the hearts of readers and critics and is today one of our foremost chroniclers of relationship drama for young readers. Anna Ehring has also done the illustrations in the book, and the photographs of \"Polly\" were taken by Trixie Edlund Falkenborg.
