I'M NOT SICK! (JAG ÄR INTE SJUK!)

”It’s Saturday and my cousin Nova is having a party. My body is prickling when I wake up. It prickles and tickles and scratches and itches and suddenly: ACHOO!”

Your throat is aching and your head is pounding, but who wants to miss a fun party? Better hide the fact that you’re sick – until you can’t.

Sara B. Elfgren and Maria Fröhlich have created the perfect book for staying at home with a sick child! In I’m Not Sick!, we are taken on a warm, humorous and familiar journey, straight into the land of freaky fever dreams. In the centre of the story are the mother and child from the pair’s previous books, Let’s Play (2016) and Time for Each Other (2015), which were warmly received by critics and readers.
