History of origin
Astrid Lindgren also ran away from home as a small child. She processed this experience in the story.
She later said: “As far as I can remember, I only opposed my mother once. I was pretty little, three or four years old, when one day I got angry with my mother and decided to run to the toilet. I probably won't have stayed away that long, but when I came back in, my siblings had received sweets. I thought it was so unfair that I kicked my mother in anger. But then I was led into the room and there was a pick ... "
Another time she explained: “When I was about five years old, like Pelle, I decided to move to the little place that was outside in the yard. I felt that I was treated unfairly and wanted to teach the family a lesson. I was convinced that everyone would now arrive crying out loud and ask me to return home for whatever in the world. But nobody came, and that was terrible. I was forced to return on my own accord and felt with bitterness that no one, no one in the whole world had missed me. This is why Pelle's mother is so understanding. With this I finally wanted to comfort my five-year-old self, which is definitely still there somewhere under the annual rings of the soul. "

reception
Fine books thinks that is a great story. In this way, children would realize that they could be angry with their parents from time to time if they noticed that they were being treated unfairly. With the help of the book it can be discussed that parents sometimes make mistakes. Katrin Engelking's illustrations are "rather sweet and cute, but also very cheeky."
