Children\u2019s stories<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epp Petrone (Saluveer until 1995, V\u00e4ljaots from 1995-2003; born 20.07.1974) is known as a blogger, publisher and the author of children\u2019s and travel books.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was born in Viljandi and graduated from Karksi-Nuia secondary school. She studied journalism at the University of Tartu. She has worked for different publications and has been the editor of television shows. In 2007, she founded the publishing house Petrone Print which is known for its travel-related \u2018My-series\u2019 that describe different parts of the world. She was married to the American writer and journalist Justin Petrone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has written children\u2019s and travel books both in Estonian and English. She usually writes about her personal experiences. For example, the first novel of the successful My-series is her Minu Ameerika<\/em> (\u2018My America\u2019, 2007) which details her experiences living in America (later, Minu Ameerika<\/em> 2 and 3 were also published, in 2007 and 2011, respectively). As is common with the books from that series, a personal story is intertwined with a social one, i.e. the novel provides insight both into the author\u2019s experiences and the culture and everyday life of a country. The book Kas s\u00fcda on \u00fcmmargune?<\/em> (\u2018Is the Heart Round?\u2019, 2010) also tells of her travels.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrone\u2019s writings have a recurring theme of environmental concern and green living, e.g.<\/em> Roheliseks kasvamine<\/em> (\u2018Growing Green\u2019, 2008). From 2006-2010, she was also a member of the Estonian Green Party.<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her children\u2019s books are often inspired by personal experience as well, as many of her writings tell stories that have happened to her daughters \u2013 for example, Marta varbad<\/em> (\u2018Marta\u2019s Toes\u2019, 2009), Anna hambad<\/em> (\u2018Anna\u2019s Teeth\u2019, 2012) \u2013 or include memoirs of the author\u2019s childhood, like Hiir p\u00fcksis <\/em>(\u2018Mouse in the Pants\u2019, 2016).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrone\u2019s writings mark the new trends in 21st century literature: democratized literature (anyone can be a writer), vague genre distinctions and writing based on personal experience<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of Petrone\u2019s works of recent years, however, do break away from this trend, following more traditional genre boundaries. For example, her first novel Linnutee koodid<\/em> (\u2018The Codes of the Milky Way\u2019, 2022) tells the story of the meeting of an advertising genius and a shaman and also deals with environmental problems, including the topic of nuclear power plants and radioactive waste. The protagonist of the adventure novel for children, Riks ja neli kuningat<\/em> (\u2018Riks and the Four Kings\u2019, 2022), receives the task of going back to the time before the St. George\u2019s Night Uprising in Estonia in 1343, warning the four legendary Estonian kings and preventing their assassination. Estonian historian and former prime minister Mart Laar was among the novel\u2019s consultants. The novel won recognition in the 2021 children\u2019s story competition of the publishing house T\u00e4nap\u00e4ev, the Estonian Children\u2019s Literature Centre and the magazine T\u00e4heke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
