Juno Lights the Moon by Karin Erlandsson and Karoliina Pertamo (ill.) has been sold to Denmark, where it will be published by Straarup. This is the first foreign deal for this title for very small children.
Juno Lights the Moon, Karin Erlandsson’s latest work along with Karoliina Pertamo (ill.) is travelling to Denmark, where it will be published by Straarup & co.
Straarup & co has established itself as the Danish home of Finnish high-quality children’s literature and is the publisher of, among others, Radio Popov, A Giraffe’s Heart Is Unbelievably Large, The Princess Who Did a Runner and Karin Erlandsson’s other works, such as The Night Express and The Blue Yarn.
In Juno Lights the Moon it is time for Juno to go to bed. But first Juno lights the moon and thinks of everyone else who will also be soon asleep. The kings in the castles, the Lego pieces on the floor and the pans in the dishwasher. Karin Erlandsson takes the very youngest readers on a peaceful evening walk through Juno’s world, where Karoliina Pertamo’s tender illustrations allow everything to bathe in warm colors. Juno Lights the Moon is Erlandsson and Pertamo’s first collaboration.
Warm congratulations to the authors and the publisher!
