Publisher’s Book Summary: Freya the Friendly is excited to join her father’s Viking crew as they set sail for Scotland. But her dad has some pretty *unfriendly* rules: yell, growl, and grab what you want. Vikings don’t dance. And when you hear bagpipes – make a face and cover your ears! To be true to her name, Freya must make a choice. Can she persuade her crewmates to be nice, kick up their heels, and play those dreadful pipes – in pursuit of friendship, fun, *and* riches?

About the Authors
Ariane and Todd Erickson founded Norse-Gael Books in 2023 and celebrated the launch of their first book, BAXTER AND JEFFREY, with a giant slice of chocolate cake and an ice-cold glass of milk. Ariane and Todd are committed to creating children’s books that root for the underdogs, promote kindness and empathy, welcome and affirm all readers, embrace characters that are flawed but lovable, create feelings of satisfaction, security, and belonging, elicit uproarious laughter from children and adults alike, and are worth reading again and again.
When not publishing children’s books, Ariane enjoys sneaking in a daily chocolate before her family comes home, worrying if she is under or overwatering her plants, and buying pillows for the couch. Todd enjoys playing basketball, eating any food that contains chocolate, and trying to figure out how “wallpaper, Uff Da, gnocchi, and Guardians of the Galaxy” form a group of four in Connections.
