A short manifesto on Nordic childhood, from a Finnish publishing house. Boredom is the soil. Forest is the floor. The year does the teaching.

Lagom is the Swedish word for just enough. Balance comes from taking away, not adding. A guide for Nordic families who want to do less, differently.

Koselig is the Norwegian word for the deliberate shift a family makes when the day has been too long. Dim the lights, gather close, offer something warm. A note on the Nordic home in winter.
