Can you whistle, Johanna? / [written by] Ulf Stark ; [illustrated by] Anna Höglund.

Stark, Ulf, 1944-2017 (author.). Höglund, Anna, (illustrator.).

Summary:

This is a sensitive book, a classic in many countries, about a friendship between two boys and an old man. There are plenty of old men who would do as a grandfather at the retirement home, Ulf suggests, when Berra wonders why he doesn't have one. They go there together to find one - ideally one who eats pig's trotters, invites you to tea and who can teach you to whistle.
