Interview with Dag & Natt

The author is doing yet another interview about the new book. This time, the popular holiday newspaper Dag & Natt has taken an interest in Anna, the Island, and the Tiny Creatures. The interview can be read here.

"Karen Børresen shares children's curiosity about tiny creatures and insects. After 25 years on Gran Canaria, she can also show us where they can be found and what they live on. This is how curiosity, preschool education, understanding of children, and local knowledge come together."

Finally Home!

The author returns home to Gran Canaria and is touring with the new book. An interview with Canariavisen can be read here.

"With 24 years of experience on Gran Canaria, Børresen has more than enough knowledge to captivate readers with her enthusiasm for the island—and especially for the tiny creatures that inhabit it. She has wanted to write about them ever since she discovered the island with her first students."

"Anna, øya og småkrypene" is finally for sale!

You are taken on an adventure to different places on the island Gran Canaria accompanied by a fun girl named Anna. She is fascinated by bugs and soon you'll know more about both them and the island, than you did before.
