Joy and the cherry trees in the village of Harmalaia. Children's Day is celebrated in the big city of Stockholm. That's what the newspaper says. If that's what it says, then it is certainly celebrated in the village of Harmalaia too. And not just a celebration, but a proper one (as the newspaper says...). It starts with a cheerful song, even if you have just woken up. Then, you go to a carousel or a swing. As fast as you can. After that, you ride (whatever you find), dress up in something wonderful, or go down a slide. And if you can't do all these things like in Stockholm, then you do them like in the village of Harmalaia. Don't worry, it will be an unforgettable day! We tried to explain to Aunt Lisa that we just wanted to have fun and throw a party for Children's Day for Kersin, but Aunt Lisa said it would be better to celebrate Children's Day like it is done in the village of Harmalaia. "And how is that done?" asked Britta. "A little more calmly," said Aunt Lisa. "Take her to see the chickens and piglets, for example." When Lasse, Bosse, and Ole heard this, they didn't want to play anymore. "If we are going to stare at pigs on Children's Day, it’s better not to play at all!" said Lasse. But I, Britta, and Anna took Kersin to the chicken coop. And, guess what, she loved it! She didn't scream "No! No!" even once. We gave her grains to feed the chickens, and when the chicks came close to eat the grains, Kersin laughed happily.

Astrid Lindgren (1907–2002) is the most famous Swedish author of children's literature. Her childhood on her parents' farm, along with her brother and two sisters, the love that surrounded her, childhood adventures, and games were an endless source of inspiration for her stories and characters. Astrid Lindgren grew up among books and was a strong advocate for reading to children. "A childhood without books is no childhood at all. It’s like being exiled from the magical place where you can find pure joy."
Her books have been translated into dozens of languages and have been the subject of many adaptations. After the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, Astrid Lindgren is the most translated children's literature author.
