Oskar Holidaybear

Holiday time! Excited Mimi is expecting guests for the first time at her hotel by the sea. Already the bus arrives with lots of people, suitcases and boxes – and a bear! The big, shaggy guest introduces himself at Mimi’s reception as “Oskar Holidaybear”. The adults anxiously keep their distance from Oskar, but the children soon find out that the bear is a patient and extremely amusing friend, both in the water and on land. Little by little, the hairy hotel guest also grows on the grown-ups. And most of all Mimi…

In warm colours, Birgit Schössow tells of holiday days by the sea and highly unusual friendships, some of which last through the summer and beyond.
