All the Dear Little Animals

Three children decide someone must bury all the world’s poor dead animals.

“The whole world is full of dead things,” said Esther. “In every bush there is a bird, a butterfly, a mouse. Someone must be kind and look after them. Someone must make a sacrifice and see that all these things are buried.”

“Who must?” I asked.

“We must,” she said…

All the Dear Little Animals is a picture book for children aged five and up, and covers a difficult subject in a wonderfully unsentimental way. It describes exactly the way children resolve big issues―through play. It was chosen by Swedish children as one of their favorite books in 2008.

Eva Eriksson is one of Sweden’s best-loved children’s illustrators, winning the Astrid Lindgren and prestigious August prizes. Ulf Nilsson is a celebrated Swedish children’s writer, who has won the August and US Batchelder prizes.

About the Author

Ulf Nilsson, a celebrated children’s writer in Sweden and a winner of the August and American Batchelder awards, was born in 1948 in Helsingborg. In 1992, Nilsson began biblical research at the University of Lund because he takes an interest in the subject and finds the Bible stories to be cornerstones of Western culture and moral concepts. Stories from the Bible are retold in many of his books, but in a new way. Together with illustrator Anna-Clara Tidholm, Ulf Nilsson won the most prestigious Swedish literary award 2002, the August Prize, for Goodbye, Mr. Muffin.

Eva Eriksson was born in Halmstad in 1949 and is a graduate of Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design. She is one of Europe’s best-loved children’s illustrators, and has worked with Ulf Nilsson, Margaret Strömstedt, Rose Lagercrantz and Eva Bexell, among others. She is especially well-known in Sweden for illustrating Barbo Lindgren’s successful Max series. Eva Eriksson’s work has been recognised with many awards, and in 2001 she was the recipient of the Astrid Lindgren Prize. She lives and works in Dwell, near Stockholm.
