Sirpa Pääkkönen
Helsinki, Uusimaa
I have written four non-fiction books and one book of fairy tales. I have given PowerPoint presentations on my non-fiction books *Karjala in My Heart: Vitality from Eastern Roots* (SKS) and *People of Ostrobothnia: Nowhere Else Would Do* (SKS) in libraries and other venues. I have given presentations on the *Pohjalaiset* book at venues including the Ateneum Art Museum and the Helsinki Adult Education Centre.
In the summer of 2026, my children’s storybook *Milla-Malle and the Magic Carpet* (Book Garden) was published as a printed book and as audiobooks in both Finnish and English. I run music-filled storytelling sessions based on the book, either on my own or with a musician. I have performed at venues including community centres and libraries in Helsinki.
