   Glorious photography and an instant classic, October 23, 2013

   This review is from: The Christmas Wish (Hardcover)

   An adorable little girl, gorgeous winter landscapes, and instantly familiar animals, all gloriously put together by a superbly talented photographer.

   Norway has rich traditions in handcrafts, architecture, and particularly in fairy tales. If you have even a passing familiarity with Scandinavia, you’ll appreciate rich but subtle references in Anja’s finely handcrafted Norwegian clothing and accessories, the iconicałly Norwegian farm buildings, and various cultural and literary references in the story itself. If such wonders are unfamiliar to you, you’ve been missing out and this book will be the perfect introduction.

   This is a simple but magical book and an instant classic.

   Could Be One of My Favorite Children’s (or Adult’s!) Books Ever, November 18, 2013

   This is a remarkable book! I bought it for my 3 yr. old Granddaughter and it arrived today. It FAR exceeded my expectations! Although the draw for me was our Norwegian ancestry and the beautiful photographs (and the fact that Anja and our Granddaughter could be twins), the message wins the prize. This is a must Christmas book for every family, and not just one with young children. I am ordering 2 more just because I know I’ll give them away. Should get some sort of prize!

   This is precious tale. The story has an old message told in a magical way. The child is kind and brave. She is a rare girl. The animals are beautiful and wise. The illustrations are stark with vivid splashes of color. This is a perfect gift to all. We will cherish this book,Christmas after Christmas…
