For the fifteenth consecutive year, Wackes is supporting UNICEF Sweden’s holiday fundraising initiative. Each year, a Swedish illustrator is invited to create a unique design for a hand-painted glass ornament, released in a limited edition to raise funds for UNICEF’s work for children’s rights.
This year’s collectible features Gittan, created by Pija Lindenbaum – one of Sweden’s most acclaimed contemporary children’s book authors. Gittan is a thoughtful, quiet character, the kind of child Lindenbaum often highlights in her stories. For the book Gittan och gråvargarna, she received the August Prize in 2000, and this year she is once again nominated, together with Anna Åkerström, for the book Vi måste ha ketchup!.
Wackes is proud to contribute pro bono, with responsibility for production and for developing the web platform used for ordering and distribution.
We encourage everyone to support UNICEF’s work for children worldwide. Visit unicefbutiken.se to get this year’s collectible.
