The whole family is welcome to a Swedish workshop with music, art and readings!
Hillevi Torell, a writer from Sweden, visits the Nordic House and reads from her book Guðrún and the flycatcher, which was published in 2025. The book is a warm and thought-provoking story about roots, family ties, reunions, courage and the beauty of nature.
She also allows guests to hear songs and music from the book Arne Cooks Food – Songs with Swedish Sounds.
Paper and coloured pencils will also be available for those who want to draw.
Hillevi Torell is a teacher, musicologist and licensed psychotherapist with years of experience working with children and young people. She published her first novel, The Legend of Luna, in 2021. She lives in Uppsala, Sweden, and has studied and spent a lot of time in Iceland.
