The filters are based on the questions we get and will develop and change over time. We welcome feedback. Do the filters work and help you find what you're looking for?

A guide to OLIKA's product filters

Some books can be easily sorted into our filters, but others are a little trickier. Here we tell you more about how we thought.

Pronoun/lead role

Here, we have sorted primarily by the protagonist's pronoun. Sometimes there are several protagonists and then the book is included in several categories. When it comes to "hen", we have also included books where hen is included even if it is one of the supporting characters.

Skin color

We know that many people are looking for books where a main character has brown or dark brown skin. That's why we've included this category. Many of our books are populated by people of different skin colors, but for those looking for main characters, we hope this filter can make things easier.

Family

Which family form or forms are prominent? That is the question we started with when we created this filter. Two mothers, two fathers or one father or one mother. Those that also include older people are in the "multiple generations" filter. Many of our books have children in the lead role without a family, and then everyone is free to add their family, as it looks.

LGBTI+

Homo, bi, hetero, trans, here we collect the titles that highlight it in different ways. It could be the main character who is trans, such as Congratulations, Svea Fors! or it could be Hedvig Lindahl, the role model in the football books about her, where those books end up in the "homo" category.

Accommodation

Many children live in multiple homes and yet it is unusual to find books that reflect this, especially for younger children. Here we want to highlight books for those who, for example, live with different parents every other week.

Funky

Dysmelia, Braille, ADHD, glasses, wheelchair, Down syndrome, hearing aid or white cane? We know that many children appreciate the representation and being able to recognize themselves for a moment.

Food

In all books where there is food, it is always vegan, it has been that way since the beginning. We are also starting to get more and more books with vegan food in them. In this category there are only books where there is food in the book, if the book is not in either of these (vegan or vegan) there is no food in the book.

Paper

Here we help you who want to buy even more sustainable and recycled paper. We are replenishing and hope that soon our entire range will be recycled paper. But we are not there yet.

Climate labeling

FSC is a label that says that the paper comes from responsible logging, but it is not enough in the long run. It says nothing about how the production of the book looks like and that is why we have chosen to only print at Swan-labeled printers. As long as we buy new paper, our requirement is that it should be Swan-labeled, but the recycled paper that has been found does not always have the Swan, however, some of it has the EU flower, which is the European equivalent of the Swan.
