Book Summary:
Little Dala Horse knows nothing of Juletide or of love―he’s just been newly carved as a Christmas gift. He’s eager to learn about the Saint Lucia girl with a crown of glowing candles, the festive star boys, and the cute pepparkakor children. Little Dala Horse jumps into a boy’s pocket and experiences the Saint Lucia pageant for the first time. At first Little Dala is shy and hides, but when a small gingerbread girl is scared to go on stage for her dance, Little Dala finds courage to help her overcome her fear.
Along with the sweet seasonal story of the holiday tradition, this children’s picture book also features:
- Tiny tomten (Scandinavian gnomes) hidden in the cozy, warm illustrations like an I Spy game for young readers
- Common Swedish words and definitions for an educational element
- The origin story of the iconic Swedish Dala Horse and the Saint Lucia Day celebration
Written by a Swedish author, this delightful yuletide tale about a newly carved Dala horse’s quest to discover the heart of what makes Christmas so special will become a heartwarming family keepsake for years to come.
