Sofus Has to Go Home First
Sofus Has to Go Home First
Sofus is not unfriendly. He has to go home first.
Sofus has a key on a string. Most people's day starts at school — his starts before that, making the tea and putting the tablets in the little box. His mum is ill, the kind that stays. At school he falls asleep in reading. When the others go to football, he says he has a thing. He always says he has a thing.
This is book 1 of six. All six are set in the same classroom, 3A, with the same six children. In every other book Sofus 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 Sofus's own advice: don't ask why I never come · don't say "that's so sad" · if I do come, don't make a big thing of it
- A page for the grown-up, with three questions to talk about afterwards
How it works
The situation is never labelled in the story. The child simply tells you how the world feels. Young carers — and what actually helps them — are explained on the last page, for the adult reading along.
