What's in the Rommegrot?!

What’s in the Rømmegrøt?! is a sweet read-aloud illustrated book for children ages 3–9.
Even Grandma makes mistakes, learns young Ella as she excitedly joins her Grandmother in preparing
a traditional family recipe. When things go awry, young Ella saves the day—and the rømmegrøt!
Watercolor illustrations bring to life the intergenerational love between the two characters and provide
a delicate, unexpected palette for this winter-themed story. Nordic icons hint at their cultural heritage,
with facial expressions and movement--including that of a recurring “extra”—taking center stage.
A recipe for rømmegrøt is included and a coloring page invites budding rosemalers to try their hand
at this traditional Norwegian folk art.

Carol Hagen is a retired social worker and third-generation Norwegian-American. This is her first
children’s book, inspired by a real happening! Kari Vick is an artist affiliated with Sivertson Gallery in
northern Minnesota; this is her fifth illustrated children’s book.
