Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin

It can never be wrong to live with someone you are fond of.
5-year-old Jenny lives happily with her dad Martin and his partner Eric. From celebrating birthdays and eating breakfast in bed to playing board games and reading bedtime stories, their weekends are spent the same way as everyone else's.
Well-received in Denmark, ´Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin´ sparked a major debate when it was published in Britain two years later, resulting in a ban that prohibited teaching school children about homosexuality.
Therefore, it is the ideal book for early readers as it serves as great educational material for those interested in learning about family structures that differ from their own.
A beautiful story celebrating diversity and difference, ´Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin´ is a perfect starting point for conversations about various family structures.
Susanne Bösche (b. 1953), a self-taught writer, has been writing ever since she discovered that letters make words and words make stories. Her writing often aims to celebrate differences and the idea that you shouldn't be afraid of the unknown.
This is present in her first books, ´Nede i Anitas kælder´ (´Anita's Basement´) and ´Er vi venner eller hvad´ (´Are We Friends or Not´), which centre around the themes of youth, sexuality, and friendships. In 1981 she published the picture book ´Mette bor hos Morten og Erik´ (Mette Lives with Eric and Martin´) which caused great controversy in Britain after its release.
