"I have a special bond with Rödluvan as my illustrations became a tribute to my own grandfather Offe. He, just like Red Riding Hood's grandfather, was ill. Offe never got to see the book finished, but during the course of the work I have shared many fond childhood memories with Offe via my illustrations. Beautiful summer forests, the sunny yellow oak in the lake and the mice's waffle party. My Offe was the best at waffles!”
