The Way Things Are With Us is a humorous book about life in a completely ordinary family. Vassel lives in a nice little Estonian town with his mother, father, and little brother Joona, who is just two-and-a-half years old. Vassel shows readers the way things are in his family – how they read, write and draw; cook and eat; tell ghost stories; argue; watch for the elves who bring presents around Christmas; drive in the car; go to sleep; get lost; play football; host guests; and forget things.
