Karin Saler / Siri Ahmed Backström: Dom som är kvar
A wonderful new book published by Urax. It's in Swedish and I don't understand too much, but the illustrations by Siri Ahmed Backström have a very strong voice. The Swedish text is by Karin Saler. "Dom som är kvar" ("Those who are left") is a picture book about grief and how a family cope with the death of a beloved person. Every scene is very intense. A not too sentimental book that shows things as they are. Just as children's books should be.
