Wonderful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I grew up in Scandinavia and find this book to be an excellent way to share a bit of my childhood with my kids while enjoying a sweet story and lovely illustrations. The illustration details and the tone of the story are "spot on" for the time period in which the book was written.

Reading this book to my child reminds me of my childhood summers on the beach. Stina collects all kinds of things from the ocean, feathers, driftwood, beach glass... If you have spent days by the sea, how can you not identify with it. I also like the special relationship between grandfather and granddaughter. I believe it is nice for children to have special people in their lives besides mom and dad and this book is an example of that kind of special person
