Anna-Clara about the idea for the book

"I simply had an idea to make a very contemporary book about families. For young children, the family is very important, it is like almost the whole world before you have seen so much of the world! We may think that families look very different - but how what one's own family looks like is obvious to the small child. I try to have a very pronounced child's perspective in the book, a toddler's perspective you might say. Simple and obvious."
