Yule Lads Legend: Iceland’s Jólasveinar by Heidi Herman – Review by Kerry Baker

Yule Lads Legend: Iceland’s Jolasveinar by Heidi Herman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yule Lads Legend: Iceland’s Jolasveinar by Heidi Herman is a lovely “untraditional” Christmas story that is really heart warming and unique. This isn’t the usual story that everyone will know and associate with Christmas, instead focusing on an Icelandic tradition. I really enjoyed reading this to my daughter as it gave a little extra something to the build up to Christmas.
This book is definitely one that will become a yearly tradition for us. Not only is it fun and entertaining to read but it is a fantastic way to introduce children to the ways in which other cultures celebrate this time of year. My daughter loved the story which alone would have been enough to make me read it again however I also found it appealing and enjoyed every moment. This is a brilliant book and one I would recommend!
