Otto Goes North

Description: "Far up in the north is a blueberry-blue house with a grass roof, where Lisa and Nils live. One day a tourist arrives: Otto has cycled for months, maybe years to visit his friends and to see the northern lights. But Otto is from a land where it's always warm. He had no idea it could get so cold up here"--Back cover.
