Wilbert

A tiny rat and her friend Wilbert are playing hide and seek. Despite being humongous, the rat cannot find Wilbert anywhere. A passing crocodile, with a mouth full of shiny teeth, offers the rat a helping hand. Together they search high and low, until eventually the rat spots Wilbert. But there’s a problem – the crocodile can’t see Wilbert, even when he’s standing right in front of him! Why ever not?Oskarsson’s approach to both illustration and storytelling is rather freewheeling. His ability to convey the complexities of human perspective and emotions through captivating, witty illustrations is why his work is being so widely translated. Some of his work can be read in English, Swedish, Danish, Slovenian, French, German, Polish, English, Norwegian and Icelandic.
