This funny and sad book is based on the real memories of the famous Swedish writer Ulf Stark, the author of many books and performances for children.The main character lives in a very ordinary family, his dad works as a dentist, his mom does the housework. He often gets into various alterations, plays his grandfather, encourages his mother to play Indians or just sends a firefly sailing on a homemade boat. Ulf Stark stunningly subtly and warmly describes the relationship between the brothers, combining an adult and a child's view of life.
