Three book ITTY BITTY PRINCESS deal to Estonia!

We are super happy to announce that Kirjastus Elust Enesest in Estonia will be continuing with the ITTY BITTY PRINCESS series by Hannele Lampela, illustrated by Ninka Reittu! They have bought the rights to three different titles in the series: Itty Bitty Princess: All Kinds of Emotions, Itty Bitty Princess and the Fart Fairy’s Surprise Clean-Up, and Itty Bitty Princess’s Teeny Bit Terrific Fairy Tales! The deal was closed by Satu Sallantaus at Ahlbäck Agency.

“I’m delighted that the new installments of the Itty Bitty Princess series are now reaching Estonian readers as well. The stories are honest and full of real-life flavor, showing that Itty Bitty knows no borders. Although Hannele wrote them in Finland and Ninka illustrated them there, Itty Bitty children can be found all over the world! Children who are like Itty Bitty themselves will find joy and connection in these books, and those who have a Itty Bitty-type friend will learn to understand them better. Adults should also read these books out loud to their children, as the books offer good-natured humor about life itself, something that is a pleasure to follow.”

Itty Bitty Princess: All Kinds of Emotions

Itty Bitty Princess is slightly afraid to go to the child health clinic, as they could give her a little jab.

She is full of bubbling joy when she figures out how to persuade her mom to go on a fun adventure-filled trek. And her pride knows no bounds when, on a particularly beautiful day, she does all of her morning chores completely on her own.

In addition to love and all the other wonderful emotions, Itty Bitty Princess’s world also includes negative emotions such as envy and disgust which have their own time and place as well.

Nine captivating and fun stories where both Itty Bitty Princess and the readers learn how to recognize and process emotions.

Itty Bitty Princess and the Fart Fairy’s Surprise Clean-Up

Itty Bitty’s dad believes the house should always be neat and tidy, while Itty Bitty thinks it’s perfectly fine to live in a bit of a mess! After all, playing is way more fun than cleaning. Luckily, Itty Bitty comes up with the idea that the Fart Fairy can take care of the cleaning for her. But to her surprise, Dad has his own exciting cleaning plan — and together they find a compromise that makes everyone happy.

Through this story, children will discover the magic of cleaning and finally learn how to keep their rooms in order — for the sake of both grown-ups and fart fairies.

At the end of the book, a magical cleaning trick is revealed to help keep the home a little tidier. Yay!

Itty Bitty Princess’s Teeny Bit Terrific Fairy Tales

Have you ever thought of how a witch feels when her magnificent gingerbread house is eaten? Or the fairy who doesn’t get invited to a birthday party? Indeed, probably not so good.

Itty Bitty Princess has noticed that the ones who are already kind are the ones who always win the battles. Like her little brother. That’s why she has decided to tell a few stories from the side of the scoundrels, like the dragon that gets constantly poked by swords. After all, Itty Bitty Princess knows what it’s like to be kind and naughty at the same time.
