Leo Timmers i møte med Hilde Kramer

Loneliness and humor are central themes in his picture books, which have been translated into 39 languages and sold over 1 million copies. His book Kind Crocodile has recently been published in Norwegian (Snille Krokodille, Omnipax), and in 2026, Timmers has been nominated for both the H.C. Andersen Award and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. Meet Leo Timmers in conversation with Hilde Kramer, illustrator and professor of illustration at the Norwegian Institute for Children’s Books.
