A Little Big Story about Love - picture book published by Etana Editions
Storytelling
As a visual storyteller, I find it important to leave space for the reader to ponder and think. I believe that picture books can tackle even the most difficult topics. As such, they are both for kids as well as for adults. My first book was a collaborative adventure and it was published in 2011. Since then 11 books have followed, and many of them are translated to various languages.

Playing
Play and playfulness is a central element in my work. So often an underestimated notion, playing is essential in exploring, understanding and learning one’s self and surrounding. Through my work I invite people to play again, and remember the enthusiasm with what they observed things when they were children.
