The loneliest house in the world - Einmanalegasta hús í heiminum

„Hvar er sólarlagsgoggurinn þinn?“ „Hvað þá?“ „Goggurinn þinn … sem er á litinn eins og sólsetur.“

Sag­an er um litla pólska stúlku, Kas­íu, sem flyt­ur til Klapp­ar­eyj­ar, eyju við Ísland. Í sög­unni er fjallað um ein­mana­leika, tungu­mála­erfiðleika í nýju landi og per­sónu­leg­an þroska. Vegna áfalls­ins við að flytja í nýtt land hætt­ir hún að geta kyngt mat. Á eyj­unni finn­ur hún ró við það að kynn­ast lundapysju. Hún verður síðan afar sorg­mædd þegar pysj­an yf­ir­gef­ur hana í lok sum­ars. Til að kom­ast yfir sorg­ina fara for­eldr­ar henn­ar með hana í ferðalag um­hverf­is Ísland.

Bókin er á tveim­ur tungu­mál­um; ensku og ís­lensku, sem gæti auðveldað er­lend­um börn­um og full­orðnum að læra ís­lensku.

When the sea whispers and the wind howls, Kasia’s heart finds its truest companion.

Kasia, a spirited girl from Poland, finds herself uprooted when her family relocates to Iceland. The new surroundings are nothing like what she’s used to.

At first, Kasia’s days are filled with gray skies and confinement indoors. She yearns to be in a place where she can connect with nature and observe animals. But in Iceland, that proves challenging. Her mother shares stories of the creatures that inhabit the sea, but Kasia longs to see them for herself.

Then, as the weather clears, Kasia’s world brightens. She encounters a baby puffin named Lúlli. Through playful interactions and heartfelt conversations, Kasia’s spirits soar.
