Behind many children's book

Book in Danish, English and Chinese
In December 2018, Benedicte visited Nordfyns Højskole, where she met the recognized theater man William Yip, who was participating in a two week course at Nordfyns Højskole. As a result of this meeting, she traveled around China visiting kindergartens and drama schools in the spring and fall of 2019. Together with William, Benedicte wrote the book: The Trick of Hans Christian Andersen.
