Collection: Bárður Oskarsson

Bárður Oskarsson is a beloved artist and children’s book author from the Faroe Islands. He is known for his unique art style, which often depicts offbeat anthropomorphized animals with fine-point lines and fantastical sizing and shapes. His books have been translated into French, German, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Czech, and English. His debut children’s book Ein hundur, ein ketta og ein mús (A Dog, a Cat, and a Mouse) won the West Nordic Council’s Children and Young People’s Literature Prize in 2006, which he went on to win again in 2018. In 2016, he was nominated for the IBBY Peter Pan prize.
