Today, RÚV English Radio hears about a new book inspired by and for intercultural families in Iceland.

Now, she and her Icelandic husband Helgi Silva Þorsteinsson have written a book called Áki Tahiel’s Magical Multilingual World / Töfrandi fjöltyngdur heimur Áka Tahiel (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555164036328), presented in Icelandic and English, which tells the story of a six-year-old boy who speaks two languages at home.
