The Superhero Princess, the Mom and the Baby/Superhjälteprinsessan, mamman och bebisen

Dressing up and playing superhero princess is what Thandi knows best. But now that she has a sibling, mom says she has to play quietly so not to wake the baby. How boring! And whenever Thandi is playing with the baby, mom yells that Thandi isn’t being careful. She is! How is a superhero princess supposed to play when you’re hardly allowed to do anything?

The Superhero Princess, the Mother and the Baby is a charming story about how life can be turned upside down when a sibling arrives. It’s a book about the child’s right to play, regardless of baby siblings and tired mothers! Irresistible and colourful illustrations where all emotions are given space.
