One day, when Lotta has an argument with her mother because she does not want to wear her scratchy sweater, she even moves into Aunt Berg's attic.
Hald had originally intended to make a film about Lindgren's picture book The Day Adam Got Mad.
She believes that the story is told with a lot of humor, is illustrated in a wonderfully non-teaching way and belongs on the children's bookshelf.
[10] Ingrid Löbner advises parents in her guidebook Gelassene Eltern-Glückliche Kinder: Mit mehr Leichtigkeit und Entspanntheit durch die ersten sechs Lebensjahre to look at Astrid Lindgren's picture book Lotta's Christmas Surprise in order to be able to empathize with how four-year-old children feel, how they see the world, what thoughts they have and what activities they are already capable of.
[11] Gabriele Cromme adds that the picture book contradicts the traditional understanding of the roles of girls and boys.
