Biography
Born in Helga Trefaldighets församling in Uppsala County on 22 February 1962, Stalfelt was the daughter of the journalist Sven Olov Stalfelt and Ann-Marie Stalfelt, a physician.[4] Barbro Lindgren's Loranga, Masarin och Dartanjang inspired her to become a children's writer. On completing high school, she studied at Uppsala University in the cultural section.[5]
In 1996, she published the first in a series of works for children with boken (book) in the title. These included Hårboken (The Hair Book, 1996), Bajsboken (The Poop Book, 1997), Dödenboken (The Death Book, 1999) and Kärlekboken (The Love Book, 2001). Stalfeld is also employed by Stockholm's Moderna Museet as a cultural advisor.[6]
