Nisse's New Cap by Olof and Lena Landström, 1990.
An irresistible story about a boy and his love for his new cap. The expressiveness and simplicity of text and pictures are ingenious.
Actually I am not going to include the words, I think the pictures say it all.
My comments:
I bought this book a couple of years before I had my first child. It is a masterpiece. The story is so relatable. To be embraced by your mother or father, finally free to let your restrained tears fall and to get a bandaid on your scraped knee. That feeling!
Today's book is dedicated to my beloved father, whose arms have embraced me when I recovered from a fall. I love you! (He turns 85 years old today).
