On Saturday 22/4 and Sunday 23/4 at 12:00 I was at the Bergen Maritime Museum and had the children's book about Petrine and the Great Crab read aloud. Lots of good feedback from both children and adults. Thank you very much for me :-)
3 juni i Bergen - på Marineholmen
Passion for Ocean festival was held in Bergen 3rd of June at Marineholmen. The weatherr treated us well, the program for the day was educational, interesting and fun. At 10:30 am, I read from my childrens book about Petrine and the Giant Crab with the subtitle "Plastic by the seaside". Maybe you were there too?
In relation to the national education plan, the children must gain experience with culture. And several of the schools focus on the desire to read and the joy of reading. Being visited by an author and having reading time is therefore both a cultural feature and the children learn to listen to reading aloud. And it's motivating. We also focus on sustainability and the environment. The theme in the book about Petrine and the Big Crab is thus also about the environment. So your visit gave the students more pegs to hang on to.Do you also want to book me to SFO?
There was a good atmosphere when Øygarden Municipality invited to the Cultural and Sports Gala to honor solid achievements in the municipality for 2022. Øygarden Municipality has around 40,000 inhabitants and a wide selection in both cultural and sporting life.
The children wanted to hear the book one more time. We use it a lot now in the nursery, as our theme is the sea.

A lovely children's book, good interaction between text and drawings. Important theme.

I read the book with my grand-son on the bed at bedtime.
It was so cozy!
When I read to my 6-year-old grandson, the 10-year-old also came over and wanted to listen :-)
