Have you and your kids read the beloved children’s book, Albert by Ole Lund Kirkegaard?
The story was first published in 1968. It was written in Danish and has been translated into many languages. It’s now a Shout! Factory movie DVD that will entertain and inspire children to dream big. The relationships and characters remind me a bit of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. The adventure and animation style is a whole lot of fun!
