Hi! My name’s Shaina and I’m nine years old. I live in Oslo,
the capital city of Norway. Here in Norway, in the summer, the sun never
sets and the night is as bright as day. In the port near our house,
fishermen sell their fish, especially the most famous fish in Norway —
Norwegian salmon. Not far from there, you can see the spectacular
fjords.
Today, my friend is visiting from a different country and we’re going
on a fascinating journey: together we’ll visit the royal palace of
Norway, pick berries and mushrooms in the forest, and exchange stories
about being young lamplighters in different countries.
Shaina from Norway is the sixth book in the Lamplighter
series. These books will allow young readers to peek into the lives of
boys and girls from all around the globe. They will meet children who,
together with their parents, are trying to help Jews learn more about
their heritage.
Via these first-person accounts, readers will visit the most
fascinating places. They will be drawn into these children’s lives and
they will learn all about the cities in which they live.
Fascinating facts and interesting descriptions alongside authentic
professional photographs are included throughout the book. These stories
will broaden horizons while demonstrating the art of giving and caring
for their fellow Jews.
