Why is the cousin laughing?

What makes you happy? What makes you laugh?

Someone is laughing. It's Mika's cousin.
But why is the cousin so happy? Alvdis and Hamsa wonder.
Have they been invited to a party, or seen a funny video?
Have they found a treasure? Or are they just nervous?

In the picture book Why is the cousin laughing? we get to follow Alvdis and Hamsa as they ponder what reasons there might be for laughing. A cozy, clever and funny children's book that sparks fun conversations about feelings.

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.
