This is my debut book, published by Cookies n Dragons in spring 2024, a bilingual children book with illustrations, containing 20 bedtime stories, both in Swedish and Finnish. This has been a real long term project for me I started to work with for about 15 years ago. I had just become a father, and my children had to sleep, so I started to make some own bedtime stories, because I didn’t find any in the stores which was suitable for my goals. I wanted the kids to sleep, but also to learn better Finnish.
The stories are originally written in Finnish and translated by myself to Swedish. They were made for stage at first, produced by Swedish-Finnish UusiTeatteri, but now they have moved on, and find their home also in a book. You can buy the book in all internet stores such as Adlibris, or directly from Cookies n Dragons from this link: https://cookiesndragons.se/bocker/p/mnen-sover.
