Zoom sur l’image dans la grotte 👀
Je vous saurais gré de bien vouloir prendre la peine de lire le alt, qui est le alt le plus complet de l’histoire des alts de ma page, même si je n’ai pas mentionné qu’il y a un gros bonhomme bleu avec des longs bras ni que le rideau de la grotte est particulièrement cool pour un rideau de grotte.

I buy few electronics, only when something really doesn't work anymore I buy something and then I generally try to find a second hand replacement. Around October my old ereader officially died after 8 years of loyal service. While I'm very happy with my second hand tablet, battery life matters much more to me when it comes to an ereader, so after some deliberation I eventually bought the Kobo Libra Colour. It is my first ereader in colour which means I can finally read comics and picture books on it (which should reduce the amount of new physical books I buy even further). The colours are a bit different than on a tablet, but I already knew this and I am very happy with it. In cases where the colours are more important I can always use my tablet, but so far that hasn't happened as an ereader is so much more pleasant to my eyes. Hopefully this one will last many years🙏

A white hand holding up an ereader inside a car. The ereader shows the cover of the picture book Night Windows by Aart-Jan Venema. The illustration shows a boy sitting on a bench in front of an apartment building at night. The rooms inside the building are lit up so the residents are visible. In the background are sky scrapers and a starry night with a moon to the left.

Going to my niece’s baby shower in a few weeks. I always like to add a board book to the main gift, I try to get something my son liked as a toddler — this time I got Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers because he adored that one, and I adored reading him Oliver Jeffers books in general (I may or may not have kept reading his new releases after my son finally outgrew picture books 😂)

I listen to a lot of audiobooks for small children and this is the first one I've encountered that includes image descriptions. It's such a good idea! The small child I was listening with was so excited that I had to pause the story for celebrations. Alt text all the things.

As a parent, I’ve become picky and opinionated about picture books for toddlers.

I love the style of (from Finland) Säg hej! by Annika Sandelin and Linda Bondestam (forlaget.com/bocker/sag-hej/) and (from Sweden) Hela fina jag by Hanna Albrektson (lillapiratforlaget.se/bocker/h).

They feature diverse characters, simple text, attractive illustrations and are long enough to feel like there is an actual story there.

English language books? Eh, most of them are branded with TV series, or promise to teach your kid to do something or develop a skill, and even if they don’t they’ll have boring, static illustrations and no narrative structure.

The best two I’ve seen so far are (from Scotland) Ferry by Benedict Blathwayt (birlinn.co.uk/product/ferry-2/) and (from the US) From Ed’s to Ned’s by Gideon Sterer and Lucy Ruth Cummins (penguinrandomhouse.com/books/5).

So what’s going on here? Is this a thing? And in any case, if you know the vibe I’m looking for from the above Swedish language works I’d love to hear about other books in English or Swedish!

Minoritised authors and illustrators to the front of the line - and please remember that English literature is not a monoculture.
