Elsa Beskow

Today would have been Elsa Beskows 139th birthday. Elsa Beskow is a Swedish children's book author and illustrator. Like me, many Swedish and half Swedish :) children have grown up with Elsa Beskow's books for over 100 years.

I love these illustrations and if you are looking for a good book for a child, I can definitely recommend these, and if you understand Swedish, the Swedish radio has also a program where they tell the story about Ollie's Ski Trip. 

Have a good evening!

Kram,
