Guðríður's Saga Coloring Book complements the story of Guðríður, the famed woman in the Vinland Sagas who settled in Greenland, then sailed to Vinland with her family after Leif Erikson. Children can color each page of her adventures and also share their own images inspired by her story. With each drawing, they follow Guðríður from her home in Iceland¿s west fjords, see Greenland's animals, meet her son Snorri who was born in Vinland, and the Native Americans who lived there. After three years, her family returned to Glaumbær in Iceland's Skagafjörður. When her husband died, Guðríður made a final journey - a pilgrimage to Rome and back.
This is the illustrated story of Guðríður, from the Icelandic saga of Erik the Red and the Greenland sagas. She travelled with the Vikings to Greenland after 1000 CE, and settled in Vinland in North America a few years later. Guðríður gave birth to the first European child known to be born in North America. Her story, written by Bryndís Víglundsdóttir and illustrated by Gay Strandemo, charts her travels and adventures from Iceland to Greenland, Vinland, and all the way to Rome on a pilgrimage she made in later life. Guðríður is an inspiring Icelandic character to the women of Iceland and all who admire the spirit of adventure.
