Sweden's most famous child author
Astrid Lindgren wrote about Pippi Longstocking- the worlds strongest girl but wrote about many more fantastic characters. Emil the very naughty boy is celebrating his 50th birthday this year. Not sure how a character that is about 5 years old in the books can have a 50th birthday but it's a good enough reason for celebrating a fantastic story. So the local library has asked me to come up with a good idea for a birthday party.
So I've started to look at the illustrations off
Björn Berg and now I'm lost in his world.

The story is set in the area here in Småland where I live and apart from a very tasteful
adventure park there is also a museum in Astrid Lindgrens
childhood house where there is an exhibition about Björn Berg. The color illustrations in the books I've looked at since I was a child but now I'm discovering the line drawing.
The childrens area in the library needs to be decorated and then I will prepare for a craft session that will take place on the 26 of October. So a bit of time to start new ideas and get them up and running.
