Barnens Flora (The Children’s Flora) began as my high school project, where I built my own business and self-published an educational book for children about how their environment grows, from flowers to trees, across all seasons. Over the course of a full year, I photographed plants at every stage of growth, ensuring the book’s educational purpose was fully realized.
Sharing these images with children aged 5–11, I was inspired by their comments and curiosity to write short stories about each flower - its name, where it grows, and other useful, fun facts. I also created a memory game to help them learn about the plants and their cycles in an engaging way.
The result was a colourful, hardback book made from durable, water-resistant material, easy for children to carry outdoors and explore nature hands-on.
The book was a success, selling out three series to schools and libraries across Gävleborg, Sweden. A new edition will be released in 2026.
