The stories tell of two close, but very different friends: the Big Monster and the Little Monster. Through simple stories about their doings – climbing a mountain, visiting a sick friend, going fishing – the series focuses on human relations and situations which all children face at some time. The simple narrations and powerful illustrations of the series open up a wonderful world of stories for children and parents alike. • Reykjavik Children’s Literature Prize 2006 • Third Prize in Le prix des Incorruptibles 2012, France.
