About Tukan förlag
Founded in 2008, Tukan förlag began by publishing non-fiction books on popular topics for a broad readership. As the company grew, the range of publications broadened considerably.
Together with Bokförlaget Nona, Tukan läromedel and Forlaget Tukan, Tukan förlag forms the Tukan publishing group, now Sweden’s third-largest general trade publisher.
Children’s non-fiction has always been at the heart of Tukan förlag. Our children’s list spans everything from insects and animals to feelings and friendship, and includes fabric books, board books, activity and colouring books, picture books, easy-to-read books, chapter books and non-fiction for all ages.
Around 2018, we expanded into chapter books for pre-teens (ages 9–12), and have since developed several popular series. Tukan förlag has also collaborated with many international publishers and licensors, publishing books about Star Wars, Lego, Disney, Minecraft, Peppa Pig, Bluey and other well-known brands. In Sweden, we also collaborate with the national broadcaster SVT and publish books based on its beloved children’s programme Bolibompa.
Over the years, Tukan förlag has also published a wide variety of books for adults. Our key publishing areas include food and drink, health, travel and geography, popular science, and arts, crafts and hobbies. Tukan collaborates with many major international publishers and Swedish authors.
Since 2026, the Tukan publishing group has been majority-owned by Gyldendal, Denmark’s largest publishing house, which holds an 80% stake in the group.
About Bokförlaget Nona
Bokförlaget Nona is a sister company of Tukan förlag, and was founded in 2010. From the beginning, Nona’s portfolio focused on biographies and memoirs – true stories and exciting life stories. Within a few years, this expanded to include fiction books. All of Nona’s titles are also published as audiobooks. Read more about Bokförlaget Nona via the link below.

About Tukan läromedel
Tukan läromedel was founded in 2018 with a vision to produce textbooks that schools can afford. After being part of the debate about the great lack of resources and textbooks in schools, as well as the educational advantages of physical books over digital teaching materials, publication began with Fundament (‘Foundation’) – a series of social science books for secondary schools. The first four books were released in 2019, and Tukan läromedel has since grown steadily with teaching materials for primary schools as well as teacher’s literature.
