World Kid Lit Month: Bingo for 0-6: USBBY Outstanding International Books List

We Go to the Park. 

Written by Sara Stridsberg. 

Illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna

Translated from the Swedish by B. J. Woodstein

Enchanted Lion Books, 2024.






Atmospheric and dreamlike, with a naïveté in the illustrations that harks back to children’s art.

The plain, stark white pages which are interspersed throughout, offset the mostly full-page, colour saturated illustrated pages.

There is a longing and pathos, and a yearning, to the text.
