Conversation with Heja Livet

"Do you think there is something adults can learn from reading or reflecting on children’s book?

Absolutely, I often say picture books are for everyone. I have met so many adults who have learnt about climate movements or history through children’s books. Children’s books can exist between fact and fiction. They are a safe space to explore history and the future we hope to see. They are a wonderful window to discovery about other people and culture. We must be brave and curious in our choice of books, there is space in our reading mind for books we grew up with and love AND new books that present ideas, cultures, and celebrations and people that are we can discover."
