Tira is a girl who loves music, nature, and her tiny kitten Vivaldi, with whom she plays all summer long. As autumn approaches, Tira feels a growing sense of anxiety. She doesn't want to go back to school because she can't find the words to speak, her peers avoid her, whisper about her in corners, and trip her up. This is a touching story about a little girl's fear of bullying at school and how kindness and attentiveness from just one person, along with the tenderness of a faithful pet, can bring about change.
Vivaldi is a heartfelt story by one of Norway's top contemporary authors, Helge Torvund. In his book, he describes the tough school life of a shy and introverted girl among mean peers. Tiri struggles at school. She is often bullied, harassed, and sometimes even assaulted. She doesn't speak to anyone at school, and her classmates ignore her as if she isn't there. Tira only feels safe at home. But then one day, her parents decided to get her a kitten. From that moment on, Tira's life begins to change.
Helge Torvund (born 1951) has won numerous literary awards, including the 1989 New Norwegian Literature Prize and the 2018 Dobloog Prize. She is the author of over twenty books, including poetry, essays, and children's literature. The book was illustrated by Mari Kanstad Johnsen, a popular artist in Norway and worldwide. It received second place in the 2012 “Most Beautiful Book in Norway” competition, and FlavorWire.com (New York) included it in its list of the twenty most beautiful books of all time.
Vivaldi begins a series of children's literature for parents and kids. The books in this new series stand out for their psychological depth and clearly present the common issues faced as we grow up and mature. These issues are tough but important topics to discuss at home: otherness and dealing with a sometimes-unkind environment, losing loved ones or a home, loneliness, and love. The series aims to give Ukrainian children and their parents psychological support, help them accept and overcome tough challenges, and protect their mental health during difficult times of war.

Please note!
From July 1, 2026, changes have come into effect for international shipments to the European Union.
The EU has abolished the €150 duty-free threshold for international parcels.
A new fixed customs fee has been introduced: €3 per tariff line item in the customs declaration (separate HS code / country of origin). For book orders on our website, this means a single €3 fee per entire order, since books fall under the same tariff code.
This fee is included in the customs value and affects the subsequent calculation of import VAT.
You will need to pay this duty regardless of the shipping cost. The customs fee is a separate charge collected during customs clearance and is not included in the cost of shipping or the goods themselves.
Each EU country may have its own specifics regarding the application of customs payments, so please check with the relevant sources (your country's customs authority) before placing your order.
