Where Is My Sister?

Where Is My Sister?

How does one keep up with a sister who is disappearing all the time? She says that the world is so big, there are so many fantastic new things to see…and then suddenly, she’s gone.

But little brother might know where she is. He knows her best. And if you like, you can help him. Search through the landscapes of her dreams, in places you’ve never seen or even imagined before.

In this magnificent picture book, printed in a special, extra-large format, Sven Nordqvist invites you on a balloon journey through a fabulous fantasy world. The sister is hidden on each richly illustrated spread. Can you find her? This is an art book for both children and adults―with stunning pictures, a poetic text, and subtle art historical references.

About the Author

Sven Nordqvist is a leading Swedish children’s illustrator and writer. Nordqvist was born in Helsingborg and grew up in Halmstad, Sweden. He originally wanted to be an illustrator but was rejected by several art schools. Instead, he studied architecture in Lund and worked as a lecturer in architecture in the university. Meanwhile, he looked for work as an illustrator of advertisements, posters, and picture books. In 1983, he won first prize in a children’s book competition and since then has worked exclusively as an author and illustrator of children’s books, which have won awards in Sweden and Germany. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his own playful adventures with his two young sons. Nordqvist’s unique illustrations are inspired by his delight in everyday life.
