Book
Oksi / Mari Ahokoivu ; [translation by Silja-Maaria Aronpuro].
Poorling is a little bear who is a bit different from her brothers; she lives in the forest with her family. Mana and her shadow children also live in the forest. And above them all is Emuu, the great Grandma in the sky. Based on a Finnish folklore, this is a tale of mothers and daughters, stars and legends, old gods and new ones.
