IVALU'S FIRST SONG
The arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen wrote in Across Arctic America that "…songs are thoughts, sung out with the breath, when man are moved by big force and no longer can be content with ordinary speech (…) When the words that we need sprout up by themselves (…) we get a new song"
Ivalu's First Song is the story about a small heroine who creates her very first song - and by that saves her family.
It is about courage and about how things sometimes appear on its own, when most needed. And about doing what you are absolutely not allowed to - when necessary!

"The tale about greenlandic Ivalu and her first song is exorbitant beautiful in both form and content … With a complete overview and tremendous dramatic energy he spellbinds his audience and drags in their attention in a marvellous - and a marvellously beautiful - story"
