作者是Oili Tanninen芬兰最**的插画家和作家之一，讲了一个精灵家族的故事，有爸爸、妈妈和12个孩子，从春天到夏天它们都住在苹果树里，可是秋天来临时，叶子慢慢掉落，苹果树成了一个寒冷潮湿的地方。双胞胎兄弟巴顿和波普尔决定找一个新家，幸运的是两兄弟遇到了要去南极的Pilli教授，刚好教授也想找个人看家，于是一拍即合，精灵家族又开心的一起生活了。

Button and Popper tells the story of a family of pixies―mother, father, and twelve children―who live in an apple tree. They enjoy its warmth and shelter, eating apple pie all spring and summer long. But when fall comes, the leaves begin to drop and the apple tree becomes a cold and wet place to live. Twin brothers Button and Popper decide to find their family a new home, but when they trek into the city and start inquiring about an apartment with room for twelve children and their parents, people laugh in their faces or politely excuse themselves.

Luck strikes when, through a most fortunate mix-

up at the market, the pixies find themselves in the home of Professor Pilli. When he hears their story, he invites them to look after his house while he’s away at the South Pole. When the rest of their pixie family finds out the good news, everyone is relieved and happy again.

First published in 1964, Button and Popper was written and illustrated by Oili Tanninen, one of Finland’s most celebrated illustrators and authors. Bold, on-trend, midcentury illustrations support this new translation of a classic Finnish story that’s quirky and charming in equal measure.
