Children’s Books from Sweden Spring 2026

Pre-School

Who?

Stina Wirsén’s Who? series deals with important and difficult topics with impressive simplicity and commitment for both young and old. With sensitivity and a genuine interest for the child’s perspective, Wirsén is masterful at finding the conflict and drama in everyday situations and with humour, honesty, and deep compassion, Wirsén creates a space where big feelings are allowed  – whether they be jealousy, joy, frustration, fear, loneliness or love – and where every child can find themselves reflected.

Stina Wirsén perfectly captures the horror of being lost in a big department store, the new kid stealing the spotlight at a birthday party, having to go to the hospital, trying to make a new friend, and always writes with warmth and humour. From single parents to stepparents, from nuclear families to those with two moms or two dads, these stories honour the many ways love gathers and grows. Chosen families and blended homes are not explained or excused – they simply are, woven seamlessly into the everyday. This is storytelling that doesn’t sugarcoat, but uplifts. That meets children exactly where they are and trusts them with the truth.

Sold in over a million copies in Sweden alone, the Who? books have been a beloved favourite celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Stina Wirsén’s illustrations can be found, not just in her own books, but also in Dagens Nyheter (Sweden’s largest morning paper) and in the books of some of Sweden’s most internationally well-known children’s authors. Wirsén is also active as an artist and has participated in several art exhibitions both in Sweden and abroad.

MAKING HISTORY:

Bring history to life! The Making History book series invites you on an exciting and fun journey through the ages. On the way, we make stops during different periods of European history. There we meet inventors, rulers, and thinkers – some well-known and others forgotten. Read about great inventions, ideas, and people who have shaped our world.

A richly illustrated, easy-to-read guide to the Renaissance and the role of religion during this turbulent period. The book introduces six influential historical figures – from crusading saints and lavish popes to Martin Luther and apocalyptic prophets.

Tell Me Trilogy

Tell Me Three Things

All Liv can think about is death. All Dag can think about is Liv. She’s stuck in her apartment, grieving her mother and fearing she’s caught COVID from a boy who kissed her. He’s outside her door on the worst day of his life. In a whirlwind of cupcakes, camping tables and cherry blossoms, their worlds collide. But can you fall in love through a door? And is there space for love when it feels like the world is ending?

Supernova

After being dumped right after graduation, Nova is stuck in the dull town of Niversjö with nothing but a bag of gold stars, a map, and a mission: make this summer count. When she meets Leo, a petrol station philosopher with his own scars, they set off in search of freedom, self-discovery – and maybe, something like love – under a sky full of infinite possibilities.

Tell Me Everything

Two years after Dag’s death, his friends have scattered. Matteo is stuck, lost in memory, working retail instead of chasing his dreams. Corey lives with the weight of being the one who survived. Under the cherry blossoms, they slowly begin to hope again  – to risk love, even if it means breaking open first.

Raw, romantic, and unforgettable, the Tell Me Trilogy is Sweden’s answer to The Perks of Being a Wallflower and John Green

This series captures the heartbreak, humour, and headlong hope of coming of age when everything feels like too much – and not enough
