FROM SARAH:

It's a classic, and there's good reason why! Pippi has been beloved by generations of readers. If you'd like a modern Pippi-like tale, try Astrid the Unstoppable by Maria Parr.

Wonderful on audio (Audible | LibroFM).

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Oh Pippi! Pippi Longstocking lives with her horse and monkey (but without parents) at her home Villa Villekula. She’s always ready for an adventure and soon, neighbors Tommy and Annika are along for the ride. This book is as fun as Pippi’s signature hairstyle.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

The noisy children of three neighboring families are celebrating the season by baking cookies, cutting and decorating trees, eating fruitcake and tarts, and opening Christmas gifts. With illustrations by Ilon Wikland, the master storyteller Astrid Lindgren takes us through Christmas in the Noisy Village!

FROM SARAH:

You know Astrid Lindgren as the author of Pippi Longstocking, but she's also written several lovely picture books, and this is one of them!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This classic story of the Tomten’s nocturnal visits to all of the residents of wintry farm has been reminding children of the promise of spring for decades.

FROM SARAH:

From the author of Pippi Longstocking, this is the tale of six cousins spread out amongst three farms in Sweden.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

Go crayfishing in the summer at Nocken, “dipping in the pot” at Christmastime with Lisa and Karl, and join Britta and Anna who know the best way to go about “nutting” for the New Year. In this gently humorous tale, master storyteller Astrid Lindgren takes us through a year in the lives and customs of six Swedish children living on a group of three farms in the countryside.
