Solägget by Elsa Beskow. The wee girl finds an orange lying in the moss in the forest. She believes it to be the sun egg. She then goes around to all her forest friends to ask them what she should do about this discovery. In this image she is returning a birds egg which has fallen out of the nest.

The intricacy of JB was very fulfilling, and as a child you could look at his art work for hours on end.

Selma Lagerlöf wrote Nils Holgersson and she was also the very first woman to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature. This story captured my imagination and many other children too and inspired us to see the world. Flying became a frequent dream topic for me and I still fly in my dreams. It feels fantastic.
