In Memoriam: Dina Norlund (1995 – 2023)
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of beloved Norwegian author and illustrator Dina Norlund, creator of The Snowcat Prince, after a long illness. The Oni family sends heartfelt condolences to Dina’s family and loved ones. With works including Wild, Sprout, Greylegs, and Fern & The Moon Rabbit, Dina was an immensely talented storyteller and an inspiration for aspiring artists around the world who turned to her YouTube channel for drawing tutorials and encouragement. Our hope is to continue to celebrate Dina's legacy through her work.
“Dina was an incredibly talented artist and storyteller,” editor Grace Scheipeter said. “She was such a joy and inspiration to work with, and her passing is a heartbreaking loss. I know her work will continue to inspire young artists, authors, and readers the same way it will inspire me for years to come.”
Oni Press will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sales of The Snowcat Prince to the Norwegian children’s organization Sykehusklovnene in Dina's honor.?
To break the curse on the kingdom, Syv, the youngest snowcat prince sets out on a dangerous quest to find the long-lost magical crown of his ancestor and learn the true meaning of bravery and honor.
From Norwegian author Dina Norlund comes The Snowcat Prince, a beautifully illustrated tale of bravery and honor.
"Boasting a vivid sense of place and a tranquil ambiance, this contemplative story explores preconceived notions and the import of generational storytelling." - Publishers Weekly
