3, 2, 1! Anna's first part-time job begins!
Will Anna be able to finish her part-time job and hold her stuffed rabbit in her arms?

During the vacation, the friends go on a trip to the zoo and their grandfather's house.
But Anna has to spend the vacation at home with her grandmother.
On her way home, Anna discovers the world's prettiest stuffed rabbit.
Anna, who wants to buy a rabbit doll, is offered an exciting part-time job by her grandmother.
The job is to take care of one snake, two rabbits, three birds, four tomatoes, and five fish left behind by a neighbor who has gone on vacation.


Anna works hard for the first few days, but as time goes by, she realizes how hard it is to earn money.
The sun was so hot that I had to keep watering the tomato plants, and the rabbit didn't seem to be full even after eating the carrots.
Anna asks her grandmother, who is enjoying a leisurely vacation, for help, but she says she cannot help because she is not the one earning money through part-time work.
Then Anna gets the brilliant idea to water the plants and feed the animals all at once!

A number book to enjoy and play in a world of rich art!
A picture book that will have you counting, finding numbers, and falling in love with the magic of finding things!

『3 2 1』 is a number book that lets you play and enjoy the world of art.
Numbers are highlighted on each page, and Anna counts them diligently with her little fingers.
Anna's workplace is a fascinating treasure trove for curious children.
Anna has adorable animals waiting for her to care for, a closet full of amazing clothes and shoes, and a fridge full of delicious food.
Marie Kanstad Johnsen presents a rich and overwhelming world of art with vibrant and vibrant colors, drawing you into a magical game of find-it-yourself with every turn of the page.


A picture book that teaches the basic concepts of economics and the value of positive labor!
The value of life lies in happiness, not in material things!

Anna works her first part-time job to buy a stuffed rabbit.
Thanks to her grandmother's natural financial education, Anna learns that she needs money to buy the things she wants, and that she has to work to earn money.
If this book were a children's book with a typical moral lesson, Anna would have finished her part-time job perfectly and gotten her stuffed rabbit.
But Anna loses her rabbit doll due to her own mistake, and experiences that the world does not always go as planned.
Instead of receiving a stuffed rabbit as a means of recognition, you receive a real rabbit born from the care you put into it, and you learn that the value of labor lies in happiness, not material things.

The rich and overwhelming visual art world of Marie Kanstad Johnsen!
A picture book led by two female protagonists, Anna and Grandma!
A picture book that breaks the mold in terms of title, story, and illustrations!

Marie Kanstad Johnsen presents a rich and overwhelming visual art world with intense colors that dominate the screen, bold compositions, powerful and rhythmic lines drawn with black pens and pencils of varying thickness, realistic depictions of facial expressions, and non-stereotypical expressions of subjects.
In each house, the paintings hanging on the walls and the sensory items that reflect the owner's taste provide even more pleasure to look at.
Resonate more deeply with your readers by using comic techniques like speech bubbles or multiple frames on a single page.
For example, the scene where Anna, who cannot buy a stuffed rabbit despite working hard, confronts her emotions is divided into 11 cuts and shown on one screen to maximize her anxious and angry emotions.


Marie Kanstad Johnsen always presents the pure joy of reading her illustrations with warm humor.
As the title, “3 2 1” rather than “1 2 3,” shows, the story, the illustrations, and the characters break free from the stereotypical framework.
Anna and her grandmother, two women, lead the story.
Anna, who goes to kindergarten, and her grandmother, who wears a beret and a striped T-shirt, are characters who respect diversity that blurs the distinction between men and women.
Anna is a passionate, curious, and courageous child who faces challenges with confidence.
Grandma, who loves music and art and enjoys painting in her garden, is unique and individualistic, but her love for her granddaughter is boundless and warm.

Marie Kanstad Johnsen's work always features subjects that appear mysteriously and with fantastical techniques that seem to glow.
In 『Tunnel』, it shines as a car headlight, in 『Hello』, it shines as a rabbit that gives warm comfort to a lonely girl, and in 『3 2 1』, it shines as a rabbit doll that stands in for the friends' wonderful travel stories.
Beyond a simple book of numbers, this picture book speaks of the value of life, which is more precious than material things in an age of materialism. It shows a world where neighbors help each other, true communication between adults and children, and the positive values ​​that although life sometimes doesn't go as planned, we can all endure and experience this process and grow.
