Svansi-Bob in Estonian
The children’s picture book Svansi-Bob by author Joan Waag Høgnesen and illustrator Hans Jacob Østerø has been published in Estonia in an Estonian translation by Andry Arro. Räpa-Robi is publisher Norður’s fifth translation of a Faroese book. The publisher revealed this week that the Estonian edition of Silja Aldudóttir’s Ódjór (Elukas in Estonian) is being reprinted.
The colourful and humorous story of Bob the pig exploring big city life for the first time was published in the Faroe Islands last year by Bókadeild Føroya Lærarafelags. Svansi-Bob is Høgnesen’s debut book and became instantly popular among children, with Høgnesen attending multiple book readings across the country since its release last August.
