I Don’t Want to be Here

“What a wonderful book!”
Tina Søreng Christensen, Serienett

Big sister and little sister are spending a weekend with Dad and his new girlfriend. They haven’t seen Dad for a long time. Everything is new and different. Big sister wants to go home, but Dad says that they have two homes now. Two homes? – That’s life, Dad says.

I Don’t Want to be Here is a story about how life can change completely, told from a child’s point of view. It’s about feeling small and big at the same time.

Format: 17,0 x 23,5

Reviews

“The book offers a wonderful perspective on what children experience during a breakup, and I would recommend it to couples going through a divorce with children to help them understand their children’s experience. (…) What a wonderful book! (…)
This is Dorte Walstad’s debut as a graphic novel author. She has previously been nominated for the Ministry of Culture’s Literary Prizes as an illustrator. However, I have a feeling that this book will earn her a few more nominations and awards.”
