When the cold comes too early, one small mouse decides not to wait. Far beyond the misty hills, a village of shy mice lives beneath a great oak, their winter stores nearly empty, and one young mouse sets out with a carved wooden button that turns out to be both a map and a lantern to find the legendary great pumpkin of the old stories. Along the way he learns the only magic that works against the Darkness: say what you feel, out loud, and keep feeling it.

When the first snow falls, one small hedgehog stays awake to find his friend. A young redstart has flown away to Lintukoto, the faraway land of the birds, alone and far too late in the year. With lingonberries in his pack, his warmest scarf and a single orange feather, the hedgehog follows the road of the birds toward an old lighthouse by the sea. Book two of Tales from the Misty Hills, a standalone companion to The Button Map. For ages 7 to 12.

Kun ensilumi sataa, yksi pieni siili valvoo ja lähtee etsimään ystäväänsä. Kaukana utuisten harjujen takana asuu siilien kansa, joka joka syksy sytyttää suuren kokon ja kaivautuu lehtipesiinsä talvihorrokseen — mutta tänä vuonna yksi heistä on yhä hereillä. Koko kesän siilin kodin yllä asuneen leppälinnun kolo on aamulla hiljainen, ja ystävä on lähtenyt ensimmäiselle muuttomatkalleen Lintukotoon yksin, liian myöhään ja hyvästelemättä.

Some people only really start living after they die. Matti is thirty-two, a programmer who has been meaning to change his life, when a bus fails to stop. He wakes in the world where souls rest between lives, the only one who remembers who he was. A standalone Nordic fantasy about death, second chances, and the people you find once you have lost everything else.

Jotkut alkavat elää vasta kuoltuaan. Matti on kolmekymmentäkaksivuotias turkulainen ohjelmoija, joka eräänä tavallisena syyskuisena maanantaiaamuna herää keltaisten kukkien merestä Sielumaailmassa, jossa sielut lepäävät elämien välissä. Jokainen sielu saapuu sinne tyhjänä, ilman nimeä ja ilman muistoja — mutta Matti muistaa kaiken, ja Sieluportti on ollut pimeänä kymmenen vuotta.
