| Opplysninger | Egentlig utgitt i 2019. - The Iceberg Family lives in Icefjord far, far to the north. The fjord is clean and beautiful like the clearest glass. Here the iceberg children Icelaug, Icefinn and Icebjorg play all day long. Sometimes seals and whales come to see them, and now and then a hungry polar bear may show up. One day, however, something very special happens. A boat full of people in blue jackets comes into their fjord and begins to circle around them. The icebergs, both the small and the big ones, get frightened. What will happen to their family now? Can they live there safely as they have done up to now? Or will warm currents in the sea make them melt? Will plastic and garbage fill the stomachs of the whales and lead to their death? They have heard some rumors... In this book Lippert has chosen to use some traits from the fairytale, but without sticking completely to that genre. The mixture of genres is chosen to give the book at modern expression. At the same time the association with well-known fairytale traits can be a motivator to make the children think their own thoughts. That is the author's intention.Audbjørg Gjerde Lippert is cand.mag. of philology. She has worked in several national and international organizations. She has also taught in the comprehensive school for years. She has participated in explorer trips to Antarctica and Greenland/Svalbard. It was there the idea of writing a children's book about the arctic world was born. She wants to tell about her experiences from the wild and beautiful, but at the same time so vulnerable nature of these areas. This is her first children's book. She has written five novels for adults. Tarjei Rypdal Eide has illustrated the story by using his very special techniques. His illustrations emphasize the content of the story and make it easier for the children to get the point of the text. He has also created the cover of the book (Front and back pages). The book was published Nov. 2017 by Olla Forlag. - Passer for 6-9 år
