Under den samme måne, 2025

Under den samme måne is a Danish children’s book created as part of Hesselholdt & Mejlvang’s permanent art commission Under the Same Moon for Sdr. Omme Prison. The book is a gift to children in Denmark who have a parent in prison or jail.

The story is written by author Christina Hesselholdt and illustrated with drawings by Hesselholdt & Mejlvang. Conceived as both a narrative and a coloring book, it invites children to engage with the story through reading, drawing, and imagination, and to function as a link between the child’s home and the incarcerated parent.

Children’s book. 48 pages. Richly illustrated.
