Pippi gaat aan boord (paperback)

My daughter laughed out loud when Pippi tried to steer the sailboat into the harbor—such a fun, spunky read for bedtime. The paperback pages feel sturdy enough for little hands, and Nyman’s artwork really captures Pippi’s wild charm.

The illustrations by Ingrid Vang Nyman are such a delight—my daughter keeps flipping back to them even after we've finished reading. It's a sweet, cozy story about friendship that feels timeless, and the sailing bits with Tommy and Annika are pure fun.

My kid giggled through the whole Villa Villekulla chapter and asked to read it again the same night, which never happens. The paperback is light enough to pack for the beach, and the friendship moments with Tommy and Annika feel genuinely sweet without being preachy.
