The art in this is also just lovely! Dåsnes captures feelings so well through color and expressions. I can definitely see why this book got so much praise!

I'm glad Tuva finds the answer little by little after going through so much with her friends, her crush, and her father. Good God, I love her father! Kudos to you, big man!
Anyway, for young readers (maybe if you are in junior high school or at the later stage of elementary school), please give this book a try! Maybe it can help you a lot, who knows. And please know that, you are cool! Be yourself, darls.

This is a sweet-yet-sincere take on what it's like to have one's first real crush. Nora Dåsnes really captures the feeling of being a twelve-year-old girl caught between childhood and teendom (teenhood? teenage-years?) in all of its tentative, awkward glory. I also love how whimsical yet detailed the illustrations are.
