Nominated for the Norwegian book award The Brage Prize

Billie and Bo love December! When they discover an old kicksled in the basement, they love December even more. The city is snowy and white, and soon Billie and Bo start the best ever Christmas Club to bring about the Christmas spirit. And it is needed, because not everyone is happy during the Advent season. It’s a mystery why Billie’s father doesn’t like Christmas. Bo never stops hoping that Santa on Christmas Eve can be someone else than the neighbor, for example the father he never met. It looks like it’s going to be an extraordinary December. Maybe it is true what Billie says, that Christmas is the time of year when our heart sings.

Prais for the first book about Bille and Bo:

and then you have Billie, the new girl in class […]
An excellent read-aloud-book”
