Vera & Ville

Vera & Ville

By Katarina Ekstedt & Lovisa Blomberg


Targeted at children aged 0-3 years old, the Vera & Ville series captivates young minds with heartwarming tales of friendship, simplicity, and everyday adventures. Authored by Katarina Ekstedt and brought to life through illustrations of Lovisa Blomberg, these stories uniquely center on the experiences of Vera, a spirited young girl with dark hair and freckles, and her best friend Ville, a kind, calm, and careful boy.

Vera & Ville is one of Sweden’s most popular children’s book series, due to its simple, everyday topics with great recognition. Their inclusive characters and environments appeal to many target groups. The book series started in 2019 and releases new titles every year.

Rights & Brands is the master agent for Vera & Ville publishing and licensing rights worldwide.
