About this book

In Oskar and Me we meet older sister Ida and her little brother Oskar. It is Ida who tells the story, but the wild and headstrong Oskar plays the main role in her stories. The book is about longing for a trampoline, about river safaris in the spring sun and missing vampires in the autumn darkness. About cabins that are smaller than one remembers and cupcake kiosks that are nicer than expected, about change and loss. And about pretend play and real play. Maria Parr has written a fast-paced and warm read-aloud story about growing up and seeing life in a different light than one did before. Oskar and Me is a tribute to everyday life, to sibling relationships and to all the places we are.
