@wat@mstdn.social Your son might like "Lars and Lisa In Sweden", but it's in English. Still, it was a lovely introduction to Sweden. It includes art by the author. I remember another excellent book set in Norway that I read when I was a child, "Snow Treasure" (1942) by Marie McSwigan. It's the story of children in Nazi-occupied Norway who help smuggle gold out of the country under the eyes of the invaders. It's **extremely** exciting. It claimed to be based on a true story, but apparently that was probably untrue. It was still a great story, though! Alas, also only in English as far as I know. But it was quite popular for a long time, so I suspect it might have been translated.
