Mirrors have it tough: They feel like they are not doing a good job. because whenever people stare at them they (almost) always say bad things. Who would have thought, that the mirrors out there, well, they take it personally. One plucky little mirror decides to take things into her own hands (yes, she's got hands) - for the sake of her ancestors and mirrors everywhere. Mirror, Mirror is one mirror's hilarious life-changing journey to acceptance and in turn an empowering story for all readers to accept and celebrate themselves too.

His accent, by all accounts, is quite weird. He is the father of 3 children. Martin Nicolausson is a Stockholm-based illustrator and graphic designer. Since graduating from Beckmans College of Design in 2008 he has worked with editorial and commercial clients including The New York Times, Nike, Wallpaper* and Wired Magazine.
