Little Monster

Little Monster is old, dirty, and broken. He lies forgotten at a flea market until Mina finds him — and herself — in his worn fur and big smile.

When new faults appear, and her mother insists he belongs in the trash, Mina refuses to let go. She sees value where her mother sees waste, reminding us how easily adults mistake wear for worth.

Told with warmth and quiet humor, Little Monster is a handmade (no AI) picture book about the beauty of imperfection.

"A Wonderful book, in every way!" - Edvin (6) and his mother, Silje

"I love Little Monster!" - Sunniva (6)

"A beautiful book, both in text and art." - Bookstore manager at Ski Storsenter

"More, more, more!" - Amir (2) started crying when his teacher refused to read again for a third time ❤️
