The summer exhibition at the Nordic House Children’s Library is based on the book Birds<\/strong><\/em> by Hj\u00f6rleifur Hjartarson and R\u00e1n Flygenring. The exhibition will highlight thirteen birds that have a home or have stopped by in Vatnsm\u00fdrin outside the Nordic House – which is also a bird conservation area. Interactive educational material related to birds will be available at the exhibition, and workshops and storytimes will also be organized during the exhibition.<\/p>\n

,,The book highlights the main characteristics of birds in language and images, without taking itself too seriously, and the result is a unique and unusual, but at the same time informative book about Icelandic birds. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

The book was published in 2017 by Angust\u00fara. It has received the Reykjav\u00edk Children\u2019s Book Award in the category of illustrations and the F\u00cdT Award for illustrations, as well as being nominated for the Icelandic Literature Award.<\/p>\n

Preschool, school, and after-school groups can book a free guided tour with an educational representative by sending a request to hrafnhildur@nordichouse.is.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
