Learn emotional skills together with Juuli and her older brother!
Maria Vilja captures the everyday life of small children with sharp insight, sprinkled with emotional skills, discoveries, and sparkling humor.
Juuli and her big brother do all sorts of things together with their grandparents. In the first book of the series, they pack their swimming gear and learn to be brave, and bravely afraid.
Juuli and her big brother get to go to the water park with Grandma and Grandpa. Juuli claims she’s definitely brave enough to go down the water slide, and of course her big brother says the same! But when the children have climbed all the way to the top, their legs suddenly feel strangely heavy… Which one will dare to slide down the wild water slide?
