Publisher's Summary

Do you know the beautiful tradition of Scandinavian woven hearts? Discover the story with your child... and then put your newfound crafting skills into action!

Wondering how to expose your child to different cultures… or introduce them to their own?

Then Anna is just the little girl you’re looking for.

Your child will be captivated from the get-go by the beautiful color illustrations and a happy little girl filled with wonder for the world.

Anna is ready to spend the afternoon with Grandma… and she has no idea what she has planned.

When she’s told they’re making ‘woven hearts’, she’s introduced to a little piece of her grandparents’ Scandinavian heritage… and your child will be too.

As Anna learns how to persevere with a difficult craft and Grandma tells her all about its meaning, your child will discover the value of pushing through when things get hard and a little more about Scandinavian tradition… all while they’re so immersed in a story that they don’t realize they’re learning at all!

Inside this beautifully illustrated storybook, your child will discover:

A rich and engaging story told through simple and accessible language

Colorful illustrations that captivate the imagination and bring the story to life

What pepparkake cookies are (introducing your child to the idea that new and unfamiliar foods can be very delicious!)

Easy-to-read fonts and simple words so older children can read along with you

A child-friendly look at the significance and history of woven hearts in Scandinavian culture

Thought-provoking questions to help your child understand the value of perseverance and skill-sharing

Step-by-step illustrated instructions so your child can make their own woven hearts just like Anna’s

A free woven hearts template to make craft time even easier

And much more.

Whether you want your child to know more about their own Scandinavian heritage or simply hope to give them a glimpse into a culture different from their own, following Anna’s story is a delightful way to introduce them to the wider world.

Drawing inspiration from her own Scandinavian heritage, Wendy Jangaard Jensen creates a rich and immersive experience that will boost your child’s knowledge through the power of storytelling.

Immerse your child in culture and stories all at once… and watch their eyes light up as they realize they have access to a fun new skill–one that they understand the roots of.
