Vesterheim Children-What’s In the Rommegrot?! By Carol Hagen

Even Grandma makes mistakes learns young Ella as she excitedly joins her Grandmother in preparing a traditional family recipe. When things go awry, young Ella saves the day – and the rømmegrøt!

Watercolor illustrations by Kari Vick bring to life the intergenerational love between the two characters and provide a fresh, vibrant palette for this winter-themed story. Nordic icons hint at cultural heritage. A recipe for rømmegrøt is included and a coloring page invites budding rosemalers to try their hand at this traditional Norwegian folk art.

Carol Hagen is a retired social worker and a third-generation Norwegian-American. This is her first children’s book, inspired by a real happening! Kari Vick is an artist affiliated with Sivertson Gallery in northern Minnesota and this is her fifth illustrated children’s book. 

For children ages 3-9. Softcover.
