Children's books on the way

In connection with the 80th anniversary of the action against the Danish Jews, several publications are on the way. Two of them are the first in Denmark to target children. Both books give language to the fateful events that took place and can help introduce a difficult subject to children and their adults.

In The City that Whispered, we meet the girl Anette, who, together with her parents, helps to hide fleeing Jews in their house in Gilleleje. The book is inspired by the events during the dramatic October days in 1943. The story emphasizes that everyone can find the courage to help others in need and that help can take many different forms, whether you are a child or an adult.

The flight to Sweden. The story of the teddy bear Mo and its people - When there was war in Denmark is a hard story told through the eyes of a soft teddy bear - so the very young can join in.

The teddy bear Mo, together with his people, must flee in October 1943. The family must leave their one-and-a-half-month-old daughter in an orphanage in Denmark, as they do not dare to take her with them.

"Flugten til Sverige" is based on the author's family's own story, which was told to her in fragments when she was a child, and which she wants to be told to other children - so that it is never forgotten.

It's a bright story about a dark time when it's good to have a teddy bear.
