Family Culture Night: "Sally's Dad" reads aloud at Royal Danish Library
Royal Danish Library invites children and their adults inside the beautiful The Old Reading Room to a reading of the popular book series "Sally's Dad" by author Thomas Brunstrøm.
You may know the crazy and slightly embarrassing father of Sally. Now there is a unique opportunity to get a taste of the many funny stories about Sally and Eddie read by the author himself. As something very special, you can come to the Danish premiere of a brand new book about Sally's dad!
You can also get creative in our children's workshop, where you can make your very own curse box. Immerse yourself in our cozy reading nooks and read "Sally's Dad" books for yourself.

Cast:
Thomas Brunstrøm (b.1977) is a trained journalist and works as a freelance journalist and film critic. Together with his friend, illustrator Thorbjørn Christoffersen, he came up with the character of Sally's dad, whom we first met in 2015 in the picture book "When Sally’s Dad Was Young".
The book was the start of a series about the crazy and slightly embarrassing father, which has become a huge hit among Danish families with children, who have fallen head over heels for the funny stories about Sally, her little brother Eddie and their dad. In the real world, Thomas Brunstrøm himself is the father of a Sally and an Eddie.
