Authors in Schools

Let’s map books.

Yesterday, students at the middle primary level enjoyed a visit from Yrsa Þöll and Gunnar Theodór, a married pair of authors, as part of the Authors in Schools project.

In an engaging presentation titled „Kortleggjum bækur!“ (“Let’s map books!”) the authors showed how maps can play an important role in stories and help readers find their way through fantasy worlds. Students explored a variety of maps from well-known books and saw how imagination can create entire fantasy worlds.

The lively, encouraging presentation inspired students to invent worlds for their own stories.

Many thanks to Yrsa and Gunnar for a wonderful visit!
