Siiri’s toys bring her joy but today there is some sorrow in the air too.
Siiri’s mum is fed up of all the mess and instructs her family to throw out every single item that doesn’t bring its owner joy. Siiri is pretty sure all her toys still bring her joy and only manages to bin the old tattered teddy bear she’d inherited from her mum. By nightfall Siiri needs help from her friends in getting the teddy back!
The characters found in the Siiri books are among the most loved in Finnish children’s literature. Siiri is an energetic little girl, and Little Otto, Middle Otto, and Big Otto are her best friends. The Siiri books, created by author Tiina Nopola and illustrator Mervi Lindman, are as joyous and bright as Siiri herself.
