Lithuanian mother-tongue school Three colours was recently contacted by a well-known Icelandic children books writer and illustrator Áslaug Jónsdóttir.
Áslaug wished to give the Lithuanian school in Iceland copies of two books from the well-known Monster series that have been recently translated into Lithuanian. The school invited her to come to the school and to meet the teachers, parents and students, and to read a book in two languages: Icelandic and Lithuanian.
At the same time, the children would get an insight into the artist. It was a fantastic moment when children’s eyes were glowing with pride that they are able to understand both languages. And there was no hesitation when they got to draw their own black monsters!
Thank you ❤️ for a wonderful and precious moment, Áslaug Jónsdóttir.
The titles available in Lithuanian are Mažasis Pabaisiukas sako NE! (No! said Little Monster) and Dideli pabaisiukai neverkia (Big Monsters Don’t Cry).
