Nu Ska Vi Sjunga (Now Let's Sing)
We have this old Swedish song book that my mum had as a little girl. It's falling apart a bit but I love the character of it. It brings back memories of bedtime lullabies and songs sung at Midsummer and Christmas. It has charming illustrations too, of children enjoying the summer and the festivities at Chistmas.
I still sing some of the songs at bedtime to my son, even though he doesn't understand all the words, he'll ask "Sing the troll song, mummy". I love to keep the family history alive. Songs that my mother sung to me, and her mother sung to her.

Like the character of older books, really want to get that lens too.
What a wonderful memory Sara, and how fortunate you are to still have the book!
Thank you so much for sharing these today at The Creative Exchange. Truly perfect for it.
