Fanny & Alexander

A Funny Story About Being Yourself

Fanny & Alexander creates imaginative picture books with humor, heart and a pleasantly unexpected point of view. This collection is a lovely choice for readers who enjoy a little silliness alongside stories that celebrate the things that make each of us wonderfully one of a kind.

What Can I Find in This Collection?

Who Will Enjoy These Books?

These stories are especially lovely for children ages 3 to 8, though the gentle humor gives grown-ups plenty to enjoy at storytime, too. They are a fun pick for kids who like quirky characters and for families looking to talk about self-confidence, perseverance and appreciating differences.

A Gift with Plenty to Giggle About

A Fanny & Alexander book makes a thoughtful birthday gift, rainy-day surprise or addition to a classroom bookshelf. Pair it with a cozy blanket or silly plush friend, then settle in for a story that is equal parts funny and affirming.
