The theme of this year’s Europa stamps is Children’s books, and the Åland Post has decided to let the artist Kristine Digman illustrate the author Åsa Lind’s well-known fairy tale character the Sand Wolf and his friend Zackarina.

The Sand Wolf series has been a great success for Åsa Lind. The books have been translated into 10 languages, and now the Sand Wolf and his friend Zackarina are featured on an Åland stamp.
