SUMMARY:THE DANISH SECRET TO HAPPY KIDS | VIRTUAL BOOK TALK WITH HELEN RUSSELL
DESCRIPTION:Join us July 9 with a virtual discussion with Helen Russell to celebrate the launch of The Danish Secret to Happy Kids! She’ll join us for a talk and Q&A on her deeply-researched guide to the Danish way of parenting\, out today from Source Books. \nWhat do Vikings know about raising children? Turns out\, quite a bit. After a decade of living and raising her family in Denmark\, Russell noticed important differences in Danish kids. They eat differently\, learn differently\, and even sleep differently. They’re out in nature for hours a day\, though it’s dark October through March. And then they grow up to be some of the happiest adults on the planet. So her question was: how? \nThe Danish Secret to Happy Kids shares what author Helen Russell has learned first-hand and through talking to Nordic psychologists\, sociologists and teachers about rearing well-balanced children. In doing so\, she dives into the parenting culture of Denmark and other Nordic nations\, from parental leave to school structure to screen time. Combining intellectual curiosity and research with observation\, this is a positive\, thought-provoking parenting book for readers curious about cultural differences. \nRegister

SUMMARY:FISHING FOR THE LITTLE PIKE BY JUHANI KARILA | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On July 16\, translator Lola Rogers will be present as a special guest for a discussion of Finnish author Juhani Karila’s English-language debut Fishing for the Little Pike\, a genre-defying tale of a young woman’s pilgrimage to her home in Lapland. *The program will begin with a short discussion with Lola Rogers on the book and her translation\, followed by a Q&A with Nordic Book Club attendees.* \nWhen Elina makes her annual summer trip to her remote family farm in Lapland\, she has an important mission: catch the pike in their local pond in three days\, or she and the love of her life will die. Despite her usual success\, this year’s trip grows difficult when deadly supernatural creatures intervene\, and a murder detective arrives. Can Elina catch the pike and end the curse that began when a youthful love affair turned sour? Will Sergeant Janatuinen make it back to civilization in one piece? And why is Lapland in summer so weird? \nFishing for the Little Pike is an audacious\, satisfying blend of fantasy\, folk tale\, and nature writing. \n“Karila keeps things fanciful and funny even as the story’s folklore elements descend into the dark and disturbing\, thanks to his exuberant embrace of the godforsaken landscape and its inhabitants. This twisted love letter to the rural region leaves a lasting impression.”— Publishers Weekly \nREGISTER
