Lasse-Leif is an ordinary boy who lives with his mum, dad and best friend Luske-Lise, and he is looking forward to Christmas more than anything. This family-friendly exhibition at Stadsbiblioteket in Lyngby is built as an Advent calendar.
Every Advent Sunday, six boxes appear on the book tree in the exhibition. Each one holds a calendar story and a daily vignette. Visitors can read about a collapsed gingerbread house, Christmas jumpers that went wrong, old superstitions about mandarin peels and plenty more festive mischief. Author Mette Finderup wrote all the stories specially for the exhibition, while illustrator Annette Carlsen drew the small and large pictures that fill the space.
It is a lovely way for children to explore the big, busy picture and count down to Christmas Eve alongside Lasse-Leif.
