Mira Lobe has stood for appealing children's and youth literature for decades. In her optimistic books, it is not only the adults who determine the common good; the children also have a voice, and the author has always had an open ear for their needs. Together with Susi Weigel, she created picture book classics like "The Little Me is Me," which are still read by several generations today. The two women continue to be the most well-known duo in the history of modern children's and youth literature, which has been shaped in various ways by both of them. The contributions gathered here reflect the life’s work of the two artists from different perspectives.
