It was so fun to see a book published on this sweet tradition many of us book nerds have appreciated! Now, in picture book form, we can share with our children the life-giving joys that reading can bring.
Magic is mentioned a number of times, but it is used in the context of my descriptions above–enchanting, life-giving, etc. Also, the back has some more history on how the tradition came to be in Iceland as well as how it’s spreading to other countries.
See if you can find this one!
