Hello and welcome to a book about Molly and Sus. Their braids were stuck together already from the start. But it’s hard to put on clothes with your hair like that! And why does Molly have to pedal so slowly when Sus wants to ride her bike really fast? Why must they bump into each other all the time? HELP, what will happen?

"A story by Klara Persson about two sisters who are stuck together through their braids. About awakening, and realization of independence. The tone in the images. The unsteady skewness and the color scale. Just fabulous." 

– Fine Little Day

”Sweden stands solid on a tradition of good picture book art, so it’s no surprise when new generations of talented picture book artists enters the scene. Still, I pause before Klara Persson’s debut “Molly & Sus”, which rightfully has been awarded both the picture book prize Snöbollen as well as debut prize Slangbellan. It is like no other.”

”Klara Persson’s stories are headstrong, playful thought experiments that blossom into fully fledged picture books”
