Nico is coming over to play, but Sally doesn’t want him to play with her favorite cuddly squirrel. It’s mine! she says. We’ll put it in the cupboard for now, says mum. Sally thinks they should put the train set in there too. And the parking garage. Nico is not allowed to jump on Sally’s bed, so they must put that in the cupboard too. And what about mum? Can Nico borrow mum?

In this book, two masterful and much celebrated creators of picture books come together in their first collaboration. Klara Persson’s hilarious and thought-provoking text is intuitively illustrated by Charlotte Ramel.

There will be a follow-up, scheduled for Autumn 2023. This time the main character will be the friend Eva who appears at the end of Mine! and the working title for this book is “Higher up”

”There is an immediate familiarity with the situations and the exaggerations are entertaining for both young and old. The story is an amusing study of children’s development when it comes to letting go of possessiveness in favor of group play. Charlotte Ramel’s skillfully executed, and comically expressive illustrations don’t hold back and are in tune with the effective text. 5 out of 5.”
