About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts questioning social norms or feels pressured to act tougher than they actually are. Erik the Viking is a refreshingly sensitive hero who, despite being born into a culture of warriors, decides that the traditional path of violence and pillaging just isn't for him. It is an ideal choice for children navigating peer pressure or those who naturally lead with empathy rather than aggression. The story follows Erik and his crew on a quest to find the land where the sun goes at night to stop Ragnarok. Along the way, it balances absurdist humor with genuine questions about justice and identity. While it contains some mythological peril and a few dark moments, the core message is one of integrity. It shows kids that choosing peace and being 'different' from the crowd is its own form of bravery.
