Author Jenny Jägerfeld is a writer and a psychologist that has worked with children, teenagers, and adults in both public and private practice. She has also studied philosophy and sexology and worked as a writing teacher. She writes columns and is often a guest in radio and TV. In her books, Jenny Jägerfeld dares to address the big and difficult existential questions. With deep respect for the reader - and the topic - she portrays mental illness, ADHD, child poverty, gender identity, suicide and exclusion. In all the depictions, humor also plays a large and redemptive role. With the middle grade novel King Bro!, she found new readers, and her books have been praised by both the readers and reviewers. In 2017 she was awarded the Astrid Lindgren Prize. See less
