In his post, he remembers Peltoniemi, with whom he has a special history.
– In addition to being a prolific children’s and youth writer, Sari also played the bass, sang and wrote the lyrics to Noitalinna Huraa! in the band whose c-cassettes and vinyls I found in the library in middle school. In the end, it happened that together with PMMP we made a version of the band’s song titled Kid brother. Pikkuveli is a text by Sari Peltoniemi.
– The great popularity of Little Brother must have tired Sari at times, when the author was often referred to through this one song lyric. After all, he did so much more, Vesala points out in his publication.
Finally, Vesala sends his condolences to Peltoniemi’s loved ones and shares one more special memory of his friend.
– Sari also sent me a batch of her books. At least a thousand ships, and his magical, imaginative worlds and the darkness lurking among all the clutter of life spoke immediately. That same voice enchanted me in the book, which had spoken in the fantastic and strange worlds of the songs.
