Book guide: Loo, the sea
The seagull, the wave - come with us to the sea!
The books in the Tittaserien consist of four books where we get to follow four different children during four different seasons. Watch the sea, Watch the park, Watch the forest and Watch the night. Titta the sea is about summer and discovering nature with all the senses; taste, smell, listen, feel and hear.
Questions about family
Families are different. Having their family reflected in a positive and obvious way is important for all children. At the same time, it is also important to show and talk about the diversity of different families that exist. Then it becomes obvious that families are precisely different and equally valuable. In the Titta havet books, the child has two mothers.

Questions about the sea
There is a lot of life in the sea. On earth there is more sea than land. 70% of the earth's surface consists of oceans. We humans have a close connection to the sea, a newborn baby is 80% water and an adult is 60% water. We have so much water in our body because it is a smart way to transport salts, carbohydrates and proteins to the right place in our bodies.

Issues of consent
In the book Titta havet, the child hugs his sibling. It can be nice to cuddle and hug and we are all different. When we are going to hug, it is good to ask first if the person wants a hug, that way we can teach all children what consent is. Consent is about sensing, asking, respecting if someone doesn't want to, and when you get a no, accepting it and backing off.
Do you enjoy hugging and cuddling?
What can you do when a friend doesn't want a hug?
