November 14 is the birthday of the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren-an author beloved around the globe. Many of the European School students came to school dressed as naughty Pippy and gourmand Karlsson.
Kids arranged the dance performance for the special guests: John Runeson- Second Secretary at the Embassy of Sweden in Georgia, Tamar Datuashvili – Communications and Cultural Affairs Officer at the Embassy of Sweden in Tbilisi, Tina Mamulashvili-publisher from Bakur Sulakauri Publishing House, Davit Gabunia-dramatist and translator.

The guests shared special stories about Sweden and the famous author with the kids, they presented new books, motivated children and the most importantly inspired love of reading.
