The warm-hearted follow-up story of audacious and captivating six-year-old Hattie, a modern-day Pippi Longstocking.

Hattie and best friend Linda navigate the social politics of their first school years in this funny illustrated chapter book for early readers. With all the humour, anarchy and energy of Pippi Longstocking, this is a perfect story of friendship and resilience for young independent readers.

Hattie wants a horse more than anything. Her friend Ellen has three ponies. When Hattie’s father finally comes home with a horse trailer, Hattie is ecstatic. But instead of a horse, out stomps Olaf—a donkey. Now Hattie not only has horse fever, she suddenly catches lying sickness as well.

Inclined to emotional storms and exaggeration—always with the best intentions—Hattie is the very true picture of the rebellious, overenthusiastic six-year-old in all of us.

âA sparkling story that honours the sensibilities and world of young schoolchildren.â — Kirkus Reviews.

Hattie was selected as The Times, Children’s Book of the Week.

"Hattie and Olaf" is an impressively original, deftly written, and charmingly entertaining novel by author/storyteller Firda Nilsson that is nicely illustrated with black-and-white sketch art by illustrator Stina Wirsen.

Hattie and Olaf is a heartwarming and hilarious addition to a series I love. I can't wait to see what Frida Nilsson does next!
