"Children's literature is very close to our hearts, with many strong characters embodying the rights and possibilities of every child. They enable us to talk about both fun and difficult subjects in a natural and approachable way. The books have been translated into more than 30 languages and I hope they will translate it in many more Indian languages as well," Wieslander said.

The stories have been made into radio shows and a children's film. These have been incredibly popular, winning several honours and awards. "Swedish Children's books in Hindi are not new to India.
