OLIKA PUBLISHING HOUSE
OLIKA PUBLISHING HOUSE –
BOOKS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Founded in 2007, we are an award-winning Swedish Publishing House that
produces high quality children’s books. The word OLIKA means different in
Swedish and our books are different from the ones usually found in the children’s section in that they challenge stereotypes and norms. Our titles reflect the
diversity of modern society in terms of gender and ethnicity, (dis)abilities and
family forms – thereby offering more children the possibility to identify with the
characters in our books.
We believe that literature has the power to influence children’s perception
of themselves and of the world around them. For this reason, we choose our
manuscripts carefully and work closely with our authors and illustrators. We
provide children, parents, teachers and librarians with books that subtly, often
without comment, challenge traditional and limiting stereotypes rather than
reinforce them.
GENDER EQUALITY
In addition, we produce handbooks on
diversity and gender equality. Our bestseller
Give Your Children 100 Possibilities Instead
of 2 has introduced a whole new way of
discussing issues of gender equality in
Sweden. In 2015, we are releasing a unique
and much-longed for handbook on equality
issues and solutions in preschools: Norm
Creativity in Preschools – Norm Critique and Equality Tools.
Our most famous title, however, is Kivi & Monster Dog. Published
in 2012, it was the first Swedish children’s book using the gender
neutral pronoun hen instead of hon/she or han/he. The book
made headlines nationally and internationally and went on to be
discussed in Swedish media for months. As a result, the word hen
made its way into the Swedish vocabulary – a major equality
breakthrough!

Daddy Picks Tyra Up
BuBu Builds a Snow Woman
Today is Monday. Who picks Tyra up from
preschool on Mondays? And what happens the rest of the days of the week?
BuBu rolls a snowball. It’s really big!
Dad rolls a snowball too.
Together they build a snow woman.
But suddenly, the snow woman is gone!
Where did she go?
Where Is Rabbit?
BuBu Goes Sledding
Tyra wakes up in the middle of the night.
Rabbit is gone! But Daddy doesn’t want to
wake up. Tyra goes to find Rabbit. She finds
a ball, a bucket and a blanket. But where is
Rabbit?
BuBu goes sledding. It goes fast.
Dad wants to go sledding too.
Oh no, the sled broke!
What to do now?
Good Night, Tyra!
BuBu Climbs High
Tyra wants to say good night to a lot of
things before she goes to sleep. Good
night, car. Good night, boat. Good night,
horse. Good night, ocean.
BuBu climbs.
All the way to the top of the snow mountain.
But what’s this? Someone is already there.

Simri’s Hat Adventure
by Karin Salmson & Maria Clason
Let’s Play Outdoors!

One of the downsides of living in a hat is that the wind can
take your home anywhere it pleases. Just ask Simri…
This is a picture book

showing a variety of fun
activities taking place outdoors.
Little Simri the Rat
lives among roses red,
in a beautiful hat,
in the middle of a flower bed.
One day the winds pops in
and grabs hold of Simri’s hat.
The hat is taken for a spin
and ends up landing on a cat!

Mmm, yummy!

The Best Circus in the World
Who’s The Thief, Mirjana?
by Anders Palmaer & Per Gustavsson
by Ana Udovic, Jessica Kurki & Tomas Nilsson
The Best Circus in the World isn’t doing that great.
In fact, it’s doing so bad the circus manager shuts it
down, forcing the circus artists to go live in the woods.
Suddenly, Beata has an idea. Maybe there’s a way to
turn their circus into the Best Circus in the World again.
But will the circus manager listen to her?
Mirjana’s parents own a pizza parlor. Mirjana
plays there almost every day. One day Uncle Mirko
comes by with a gift, a beautiful clock. When the
clock goes missing, they all try to figure out who the
thief is. All but one.

When Grandpa Fell In Love
Grandma & Grandpa:
How to Catch an Elk and Other Adventures
by Gabrielle Frödén
by Cecilia Rihs & Pia Niemi
Filip and Grandpa always hang out in Grandpa’s candy
stand. But one day, the candy stand is closed. Grandpa is
ill and Inga, the lady with the stethoscope, comes to visit.
But getting better doesn’t make Grandpa any happier. He
says he’s suffering from something worse than a disease.
But what could be worse than a disease?
Grandma and Grandpa are playful and mischievous and they’re
always getting up to something crazy. ”I wanted to make the reader
look forward to tomorrow and fall asleep happy”, says the author.
This volume contains three books that can be done as three separate
books as well.

Saffa & Parmesan: The Secret Submarine
by Anette Jahnke
One day, Grandpa opens a secret trapdoor in the floor. Down below,
in a cave, is where he keeps his submarine. A submarine? Great! Now
Saffa and Parmesan can go look for Grandpa’s missing ring. Saffa pulls
a lever and the submarine is off. But finding a tiny ring in a big ocean
isn’t easy. The octopus who loves shiny things isn’t helping either.
When the superhero alarm goes off, the superhero sets off
to save people from all sorts of dangers. But what happens
when the superhero meets the scariest thieves he’s ever seen?
What does it mean to be a superhero? Do superheroes have
to be brave all the time? Or is it okay to be scared sometimes?
Maybe it’s brave to admit that you’re scared?

Mirjam likes to be in charge.
But what exactly can she
decide? Can she decide who

Can she decide not to be afraid
of dogs? Can she decide there’ll

Malva and the Horses
Courage with Wilma & Happy
by Malin Eriksson & Lisa Chantem Säfve
by Anneli Khayati & Mikael Sjömilla
Malva loves horses. Dad is afraid of
them. Luckily, there’s Grandma. She
tells Malva stories about her greatgrandfather Valentin. He was really
good with horses. And one day,
Malva will be too!
It’s Saturday and Wilma and Happy are playing soccer.
Oh no! The ball ends up in Mrs Crankersen’s garden.
Now they have to sneak into her garden and take their
ball back. And that takes courage!
Malva’s First Riding Lesson
Together with Wilma & Happy
In the second book about Malva, it’s finally
time for her first riding lesson. Dad goes with
her to the stables, but maybe it would have
been better to leave him at home. He’s so
nervous, it’s starting to rub off on Malva.
Will she ever get up on her horse?
Wilma has been home from school for almost an entire week.
She can’t wait to play with Happy again. But back in school,
nothing is the same. At recess, Happy plays with Malla and
doesn’t even wait for Wilma. When they play rounders,
Wilma and Happy don’t play together like they usually do.
But when their team is about to lose, they need to make up
their minds. Will they play together or not?

When Wilma thinks of Sigge, she feels happy and a bit funny.
But when Happy tells the whole class that Wilma is in love with
Sigge, Wilma gets upset. If she’s in love she wants to tell him
herself. And how is she even supposed to know if she is in love?
In the third book in the Malva series, a very boring day
suddenly turns great when Malva stops by the stables
and gets to help preparing her favorite horse for a
horse show. It’s so much fun, Malva stays there all day.
But does Dad know where she is?

Kosse loves playing soccer. But how can you improve your
technique if no one wants to practice with you? Her brothers
think she’s too small. Her best friend Emma thinks soccer is
boring. It all changes when Kosse and her classmates are
picked to represent their school in a local soccer tournament.
This is Kosse’s chance to practice! And her chance to beat
those mean Gullringen girls once and for all…
Finally! Charlotte is about to play in her first
ever tournament. The competition is fierce.
But so are Charlotte and her teammates.

Give Your Child 100 Possibilities Instead of 2
Take Charge! (part 1)
by Marie Tomicic & Kristina Henkel Method book, 340 pages
by Leone Milton, Marie Tomicic & Emili Svensson
Young adult/Method book
To be published
Who profits on beauty standards? Who’s behind
the messages in media and advertising? How does
social media work when it comes to norms and selfimage? And most importantly: why is it so hard to
challenge norms and what is the foundation of
good self-esteem?!
“One cold day, my daughter had a meltdown because I wouldn’t let her
wear her dress. With big tears running down her cheeks, she yelled: I want
to wear my dress because when I do, the teachers tell me I’m pretty!”
“When my son was three years old, girls and boys stopped
playing together. No one seemed to find this weird.”
Give Your Child 100 Possibilities Instead Of 2 is a book
for all parents and adults who want to give children
more possibilities in a world full of gender stereotypes.
