Jukka Itkonen 2015:
Laulavat lenkkitossut : urheilullisia liikuntarunojaIllustraded by Matti Pikkujämsä
Finns are sports fans. Any kind of sport and they'll watch it. I never understood that until I talked with a girl, who said it is very relaxing to watch soccer or other sports, because you know what is going to happen. Just follow the ball/puck/any sport instrument. But if you observe my mother-in-law during a hockey match, it is far from relaxing, she gets really excited and passionate about cheering for the Finnish team.
This book is about sport poems. First is soccer, then comes every possible sport including Mölkky. Not to forget the sportsfans on the couch, the penkkiurheilija. I hope this book inspires children to move and find a hobby that makes them move.
