Author’s Corner-Nola’s Icelandic Adventure Author’s Talk
Watch Author’s Corner Webinar With Emil Gretarsson Live on December 2, 2025.
In her first book in The Tails of Nola series, Nola found her fur-ever home and settled in with her human family. Now the family, with Nola, is on their way to explore Iceland.
Join Nola as she explores this beautiful island in the North Atlantic and makes some new friends along the way. She has even inserted notes throughout the book to help you and your family learn about this unique and fascinating location.
No trip to the land of fire and ice would be complete without a little adventure. So, prepare for some excitement in her latest “tail”, Nola’s Icelandic Adventure! What will Nola’s adventure be? Woven into the discussion will be a conversation on child literacy and the impact of reading books has on children.
