New Children's Book

"Ein eydnufluga" is a new children's book written by Elsubeth M. Fossádal, who is also a doctor by profession. The book is Fossádal's second book with three short stories about the two siblings Alva and Lias. After each story there is a fact box where a doctor explains about e.g. the corona virus and arachnophobia which are related to the stories.

A fortune fly: The yellow fly is Alva's fortune fly. But Lias likes the green one better because it catches more fish, but it gets stuck in his forefinger when he tries to get the fly out of trout.

The treasure in the attic: A lot of odd and fun stuff is hidden in grandmother's attic but Lias does not like the spiders who hide there too.

Corona sweets: Grandfather has caught the coronavirus and has to live in the blue corona building. Alva and Lias are now allowed in but they give him a pack of sweets through the window.

The book is published by BFL and illustrated by Kathrina Skarðsá.
