Ronja Knew It Right After

Ronja is not choosing this. She just does not get the gap.

Most people get a warning. Something goes wrong, there is a little gap, and then they decide what to do. Ronja does not get the gap — something goes wrong and she is already shouting. On Monday someone knocked her model over by accident, and she pushed him, and she knew it was an accident right after. That is the terrible bit. She always knows, right after.

This is book 4 of six. All six are set in the same classroom, 3A, with the same six children. In every other book Ronja is just someone in the background. In this one, you see the world from the inside.

What is in the book

• 14 illustrated spreads, written for children aged 6 and up
• Short lines and simple words for children starting to read alone
• A page of Ronja's own advice: you do not have to let me push you · don't crowd me while it is happening · when I say sorry, take your time
• A page for the grown-up, with three questions to talk about afterwards

How it works

The book does two things at once on purpose: it never excuses hitting, and it shows what it is like when the remorse arrives seconds too late. Emotional regulation — and the four quiet minutes that help — is explained on the last page, for the adult reading along.
