Estonian publisher Tammerraamat acquired the rights for Laura Ertimo’s What is Night and What is Water (both illustrated by Satu Kontinen). The books have now been sold to China, Russia and Estonia.
Praise: „When we found Laura Ertimo and Satu Kontinen’s „What is Night“ and „What is Water“, we knew that they could be something special for Estonian children. The contents are written in simple language and deal with basic questions that children want to know: What IS the night? Why do I need to sleep? What is the purpose of water in nature? Sometimes even adults cannot answer those questions and that’s where the books are really helpful. The illustrations are also very special, playful and even a bit mystical. The books are written with heart and form a complete whole. We really like them and hopefully so will the Estonian children.“
– Tiina Tammer, Editor, Tammerraamat publishing, Estonia.
