Painting Aalesund - Available Now!!! Official release date October 6th, 2009
Ten-year-old Trond Halvorsen lives in Aalesund, a picturesque and friendly Norwegian sea-side town. The only problem is that there is no color! The buildings are covered with beautiful designs that no one knows are there. With his grandfather’s help, Trond discovers them and dreams of fulfilling these designs with brightly colored paints. But Trond doesn’t have any money, paint is too expensive and there just isn’t any to be had. Join Trond as he sets out to bring color to his town in a splendid Norwegian adventure laced with exotic descriptions of deep blue fjords, dark green pines and vividly colored flowers. Painting Aalesund is a simple, heartwarming story that parents will want to read to their children and again to themselves.
Painting Aalesund is an illustrated novelette for young people from ages about 8 to 12, but parents and grandparents will enjoy it as well. Its softbound 96 pages include 11 excellent pencil illustrations by Greg White showing Aalesund, Norway of a generation ago. This book includes a code for the e-Live audio book digital download.
