This is the world through the eyes of Marta, a little girl growing up near a big city beside the sea. It is a world of bugs that talk and bath bubbles that whisper, airplanes that wave and monster vacuum cleaners. Most of all, it is a world of questions. Estonian best selling author Epp Petrone originally crafted this collection of personal stories as a gift for her daughter's birthday. Each tale springs from everyday life but is full of childlike whimsy. Complemented by beautiful illustrations by artist Piia Maiste, it has since become a popular favorite for bedtime reads for girls and boys...

One day, Marta's parents take her for a walk and tell her the big news: -We are going to have a new baby.- Mommy tells Marta that this baby is as small as her pinkie finger. But after Anna is born, she doesn't stay small for long, and this is when the trouble begins. What happens when Anna tries to play with Marta's favorite doll? Or when Marta tries to teach her little sister how to calculate with candies, but Anna only wants to eat all of them? Or when Anna wants to know how big a whale's fart is? What is Angel Grandma doing under the ground? Can snails really race against each other? These...

Lena's Laugh follows Epp Petrone's beloved children's books Marta's Toes and Anna's Teeth. The main character in this book is the family's newest member, baby Lena, and her memorable experiences, from swimming in her mother's belly, to her birth, and her first year of life with her big sisters. Some of the stories are told through the eyes of the older children, but most are told from the perspective of Lena, who can still recall the time before she was born, when she was just an angel.
