There is a large ping-pong table in the schoolyard. There are no ping pong racks so we run around, around, around. One day I tripped in the middle of the run.
BANG! Straight on the ground I lay and didn't understand anything. I only saw the sky and a little jacket.
- Are you alive!? Cried Sissy.
- I think so, I whispered.
Then a lot of footsteps were heard, because the whole schoolyard had seen the bang. The firsts came, the seconds came, Niklas in the fourth came and some in their spare time came. Everyone in the choir came, tall Anna in the third came, and then half of the fifth and two from the sixth came. Everyone wanted to see the Wound!
Emma AdBåge is a master at capturing life in the schoolyard: the games, friends, and group dynamics. The wound is about being in the center, being visible and suddenly being the one everyone wants to talk to. Attention is exciting and wonderful, but what happens after the Wound disappears? Who cares about a little scar?
Emma AdBåge is one of our most beloved children's book creators. She has been awarded several times, in 2018 she received the August Prize for the acclaimed picture book Gropen.
