Kiwi & Monster Dog (recycled paper)

An exuberant, crazy story in rhyme about wishing for something, and getting it, although not quite in the way you thought!

Dog! Kivi shouts. Give me a dog! Otherwise I will never sleep again!
Mappor and pammor and morbroster Jin, a bryssling, a marfor, a half-quarters cousin, little parvelpusor and storebröstrar; they all stand around the bed consoling and whistling and hissing and saying of course, someday possibly, almost certainly, she will get a dog, they can half-certainly promise - but only if Kivi themself now promises to sleep.

The first book in the series, Kivi & Monster dog, was published in 2012 and was Sweden's first children book where the word hen is used as a personal pronoun. OLIKA launched the book with a debate article written together with linguist Karin Milles. The debate that followed paved the way for a third pronoun and in 2014 it was included in the Swedish Academy's dictionary. Hurray!

What is OLIKA? ❤️

• All the pronouns in the book are they/them
• New fun words that include more
• Crazy, wild characters that attract laughter

Kiwi & Monsterhund is printed on recycled EU-blomman marked paper on a Svanen-labelled printing house - good for our climate and for our children!

På OLIKA tar vi ansvar och trycker endast på Svanenmärkta tryckerier, för barnen och framtiden. Varje år räknar vi ut hur mycket koldioxi vi släpper ut och kompenserar för det vi inte kan ta bort. 2025 släppte vi ut 0,39 kg koldioxid per bok vilket är en minskning med 45% jämfört med 2021 då vi började mäta.
