Året – set gennem små øjne af Elvira Fragola er en vidunderlig bog til børn og familier om årets 12 måneder, fortalt gennem billeder, små rim og informative tekster. Bogen handler om årstidernes særpræg og de forandringer, der sker i naturen i løbet af et år. Elvira Fragola har ladet sig inspirere af tidligere tiders almanakker, og i bogen inkluderer hun forslag til ting, man kan lave i naturen, og hvad man skal være særligt opmærksom på den pågældende måned: hvilke blomster man kan plukke netop nu, hvilke bær der er modne, hvilke dyr der er aktive, og hvilke fugle kan man se og høre.

Begge står de bag en bred vifte af udgivelser med og om overnaturlige væsner. John Kenn Mortensen er kendt for sine uhyggelige illustrationer i Post-it Monstre og Benni Bødker har skrevet flere kuldegysende historier om alt fra spøgelser til dæmoner og varulve. Med deres ekspertise på området følte de, at de ikke havde andet valg end at samle alle oplysninger om julemonstrene for at hjælpe dig med at holde dig tryg i den mørkeste måned af året.Benni Bødker om Julebestiariet - En juleklassiker: "Der er intet i den her bog, vi har digtet. Det har faktisk været et dogme, da vi lavede bogen, at John har fortolket væsnerne som han synes, de skulle se ud. Men jeg har haft det som et dogme i teksten, at jeg ikke selv måtte tilføre noget. Alt i teksten er hentet fra autentiske vidneberetninger. Folk der har nedskrevet, hvad de har hørt og set rundt omkring i Europa. Jeg har ikke tilføjet noget fiktivt eller fundet på et eller andet for, at det skulle blive mere spændende."Pressen om Julebestiariet - En juleklassikerPolitiken: ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ "Hvordan har man dog kunnet undvære dette charmerende værk?"

SIGNE er en trilogi om en piges oplevelse af de tre store kristne højtider, jul, påske og pinse. Den gennemillustrerede bog er skabt af den prisbelønnede tegner og forfatter Peter Madsen. Velegnet til både højtlæsning og læs-selv. Det er en oplagt gavebog, der kan følge barnet fra børneårene og op i teenageårene. ”Hedder det advent, fordi man bare skal vente hele tiden?” spørger Signe utålmodigt sin bedstemor. ”Nej,” svarer bedstemor, ”det betyder, at man glæder sig til noget, der skal komme” – og så fortæller hun historien fra Bibelen om den første JUL. Nogle år efter får Signe en stor gave, en påskerejse, af sin onkel Theo. Sammen flyver de til Jerusalem, hvor de møder de tre store religioner, jødedom, kristendom og islam. I Jerusalem hører Signe den dramatiske historie om Jesus og om PÅSKEN.Da Signe flere år senere bliver uvenner med sin bedste veninde og må tage alene op i bedstemors sommerhus for at læse til eksamen krydser drøm og virkelighed hinanden. Det bliver en fortælling om PINSEN og Helligånden og om at turde række ud efter fællesskab. Bøgerne i trilogien er tidligere udgivet hver for sig, som Signes Jul, Rejsen til Jerusalem og Vingeslag.”JULEN er som et smukt digt. PÅSKEN er en dramatisk fortælling. Og PINSEN er nærmest en følelse, en beskrivelse af øjeblikket, hvor alt gennemlyses og giver mening.” Citat fra Peter Madsens forordPeter Madsen, f. 1958, er tegner, forfatter, filmskaber og foredragsholder. Han står bl.a. bag bestsellerne Valhalla og Troldeliv og ikke mindst Menneskesønnen. Han har modtaget en lang række priser, fx Kunstfondens største hædersydelse og Blixenprisen for Årets illustrerede værk 2022.
