Originally privately published in 2002, Lucia Morning in Sweden was reprinted in this paperback edition by the Minneapolis-based Nodin Press in 2014. Apparently the idea for the book had its origins in author Ewa Rydåker's participation in the American Swedish Institute, after she and her family moved from Uppsala, Sweden to Minnesota, and she discovered how many Swedish-Americans still cherished the Lucia Day celebration brought to America by their ancestors. Noting the dearth of titles devoted to these customs that were available for children, she set out to create one, with this happy result. I enjoyed the story here, with its focus on an ordinary, loving Swedish family, and their celebration of this big day, and found the accompanying artwork from Carina Ståhlberg colorful and appealing. I appreciated the additional material at the rear, especially the note on Saint Lucia and Saint Lucia Day customs in Sweden, as young readers not already familiar with the subject might be a little lost. Recommended to anyone looking for a fun, contemporary children's book on Saint Lucia Day, as it is celebrated in Sweden. For my part, I intend to track down this author/illustrator team's look at Swedish Midsummer celebrations.… (lisätietoja)
