In touch with capital letters and magical sentences

Paid a visit to the book fair here in Gothenburg in the early days of Autumn with my sisters. There I had the chance to listen to the Argentinian illustrator/author Isol who won the Astrid Lindgren award this year - which is the world´s largest award for children's literature. Just love her work - breathtaking, smart and amazing. I came eye to eye with writers, illustrators and journalists such as Sara Granér, Lena Sundström, Hanna Fahl, Martina Haag, Alexandra Pascalidou, Göran Greijder, Jonas Cramby and the rapper Petter (!). And sat next to Lawen Mohtadi whilst having a well deserved and heavenly prepared lunch watching the swedish culture bearers and keepers walk by. Think I need to tap into that culture pot soon again.
