" 'What's in the Rommegrot?!" settles like a warm pot of its namesake
into the heart of a reader."
Tanya O'Conner, Driftless Journal
Even Grandma makes mistakes learns young Ella as she and her Grandmother excitedly join forces to prepare a traditional family recipe. When things go awry, young Ella steps in to save the day – and the rømmegrøt!
Watercolor illustrations bring to life the inter-generational love between the main characters and bring a fresh, vibrant palette to this winter-themed story. Nordic icons hint at their cultural heritage, with facial expressions and movements--
including that of a recurring “extra”--taking center stage.
A recipe for rømmegrøt is included and a coloring page invites budding rosemalers to try their hand at this traditional Norwegian folk art.
