"Sanna" #1 - Introduction

This is an introduction to a project I will be working on, starting from october 2014. The final goal is to make a children's book based on local legends from Træna in Norway. "Sanna" will be the working title for the project and is named after a characteristic outer island with the same name - which will be the setting of the story.

I (Sonja Langskjaer) am working with Marit on the project, and we will also be communicating with the local museum in Træna to develop the story. I will be in charge of the illustrating the story and optimising the format.

Besides the setting. little is so far decided about the project, so I will be using this blog as a journal to write down things as we decide on them.
