English language kid's book on Finland

[Liam1]

This is perhaps a longshot, but I'd like to buy some books for my young relatives to show where I live. I think that I saw one a couple of months ago that looked a bit like a comic annual and was €20+

Does anyone know of any good books for kids that explain Finland
Otherwise they will get a Finnish map and a Moomin story

Thanks in advance

This is Finland

Here’s the cover... and a description:

Tatu and Patu – This is Finland by Aino Havukainen and Sami Toivonen

Together, Aino Havukainen and Sami Toivonen have written and illustrated several books for children. Their literary heroes Tatu and Patu, two boisterous brothers, are familiar to many Finnish children. Since the boys usually behave in unexpected ways and act differently from others, their home is called »Outola« (a place for strangers). Colourful, cartoon-like illustrations, with plenty of funny details to discover, complement the vibrant text.

The original Finnish version (Tatun ja Patun Suomi) was recently granted a Finlandia Junior award.
