We are incredibly happy to announce that three books from the Animal Family series by Hannu Laakso have been sold to Estonia, as Rahva Raamat acquires Meet the Fox Family & Meet the Bear Family & Meet the Wolf Family! The deal was closed by Satu Sallantaus at Ahlbäck Agency. This marks the second territory for the series, as previously Editrice Il Castoro, Italy, has acquired the rights for the series.
The newest book in the series was published just this month: a reader request title Meet the Squirrel Family.
The Animal Family series has become a treasured choice for shared reading between grandparents, parents, and young children. Each book functions as both a gentle narrative and an accessible “first nature book,” encouraging children to develop curiosity, empathy, and an early love of reading. Hannu Laakso’s nature photography, internationally recognized with more than 130 awards, brings readers astonishingly close to the animals’ world with warmth, vibrancy, and authenticity.
