Astrid Lindgren’s The Children of Noisy Village is told from the perspective of nine-year-old Lisa as she grows up in “Noisy Village,” a small group of three farms in the Swedish countryside that got its nickname because of all of the noisy children who live there. This cozy and amusing story details the lives of these six children throughout the course of a year as they go to school, play games, celebrate the holidays, and go crayfishing in the summer together. The Children of Noisy Village is full of exciting Nordic holiday traditions for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and Easter.
