Maja is my hero

Maja is my favourite Swedish children's book character.

She teaches children about the seasons...

about friendships...

about food...

about the alphabet...

about animals...

and about gardening and nature.

I think she is wonderful!

    Such gorgeous illustrations - they would look lovely framed in a little girl's room, especially the first one with the peonies.
