Berit Loves Raisin/Berit älskar Russin

On the way home we will buy packages for Aron. That’s why I run ahead. There are a thousand things I want in this store.

“How’s it going Berit, do you find something good for Aron?” says mother.

But I can’t answer. Because someone is looking straight into my eyes. Is it alive?

It is raisin who is looking at Berit. Raisin is a squirrel with beautiful eyes, a wrinkled nose and a prickly squirrel heart. Buying him as a birthday present for Aron was a big mistake. But mom was in a hurry and everything went too fast. How will Berit be able to give away the one she loves most?

Berit loves Raisin is a love story with great emotions: love, sadness, anger and joy. Raisin moves into Aron’s house for a short while. But maybe even Aron understands that Raisin belongs with Berit.
