Book (Swedish text)

En kort kärlekshistoria is a charming children’s book in the classic Pixi pocket format: 28 pages, 10 x 10 cm (3.9 × 3.9 inches).

It follows two short-statured friends who believe their size is the reason they have no companions. In a humorous attempt to fit in, they climb onto each other’s shoulders to pretend they’re a “normal-sized” person—until the truth catches up.

Warm, funny, and tender, this tiny book reminds readers that you’re perfect as you are, and that life is always better with friends.
