German rights to Sanna Sofia Vuori’s and illustrator Nadja Sarell’s warm-hearted and inventive MAI series have been acquired by Oetinger in a three-book deal!
“The Mai books turn everyday struggles into vivid adventures, where wonderful, expressive illustrations and age-appropriate and imaginative stories help children feel understood and less alone. Children will instantly recognize themselves in Mai: her fears, her frustrations, her joy – and how imagination helps to make their world feel safe again. A very original and wonderful way for children to see, name, and navigate their emotions!” —Sarah Nünning, Editor, Oetinger, Germany
