Once upon a time, on a tiny island in the middle of an inhospitable land in the far, far north…
Only one family lives on the island: Mom, Dad and their little daughter. Their life is a cycle of mundane rituals and activities. And since there are no other children around, the little girl has to entertain herself. With all of the playfulness and imagination of youth, she finds friends in the surrounding nature, where even tiny events are important.
The colorfully illustrated book was preceded by an animated film of the same name. The inspiration came from a time spent working on a Norwegian island farm. Get to know the mysterious and melancholy island. Let it carry you into a poetic, enchanting world!
