Autorenporträt
As a Canadian-born with a Swedish heritage, my childhood was full of exciting tales and traditions from my mother's country. I grew up with different celebrations and holidays that were married into the western customs. When I grew up I married a Canadian man from a German heritage, and together we had our Canadian-born son who we wish to raise with Swedish and German traditions.Living in Canada, I found it difficult to find English books on tales we grew up with; and I wanted my son to know the origins of Canadian traditions can be traced back to the areas his ancestors originated.Taking matters into my own hands, I began researching ancient folklore and mythology and turning modern holidays with roots in the pre-Christian world into children's books for families.Visit pagankids.org to learn more about my books, the process and/or my brand.
