Sally’s Dad Does it Himself

By Thorbjørn Christoffersen Thomas Brunstrøm

Do you know Sally’s Dad?

It’s not always easy being Sally. Because Sally’s dad is both embarrassing and silly, and then he comes up with the most far-fetched ideas. But luckily, Sally and little brother Eddie know how to handle their dad. And actually, Sally’s dad is pretty funny too. At least if you ask him.

Sally and Svend are building a tree house, but Sally’s dad thinks it is totally poorly executed. They clearly need a handyman like himself. Dad throws himself head-first into the building project, and when the den is done, he is suddenly crazily eager to do more DIY. He sees possible new projects everywhere. There is not a thing in this world that Sally’s dad can’t fix. Even the things that are not really broken in the first place…

Sally’s Dad is a modern classic in Denmark, one of the country’s bestselling series with over 2 million copies sold across the series in Denmark alone. This fresh, energetic and hilarious childrens book series tells about Sally and her Dad. The series is penned by author Thomas Brunstrøm and brought to life with illustrator Thorbjørn Christoffersen’s vibrant illustrations.
