I would recommend this book honestly to everyone planing on moving to Sweden even from another Scandinavian country. As well as those parents who have already moved, this book contains so much necessary information regarding, for example, the whole school system which is very good to know beforehand.

I recommend this book to all parents recently moved to Sweden. People considering parenthood which might potentially happen in Sweden.

My biggest feedback is thank you. I think this will be a big help, and I plan to gift a copy to several of my expecting friends who will soon become parents here. I would also love to see this in SFI libraries, BVC, and similar places, to help new families integrate. I really see this as a tool for new parents and a service to welcome new families into a beautiful way of living. Thank you.
