More pictures~!

Bonus version!

Information thread starts after this tweet~!

First as a heads up, this information thread is about a Norwegian children's book, and thus content directly relating to it, might only be available in Norwegian!
I'm sorry for not being able to provide a translation for certain things!
Still need to keep studying the language ><

First off, let's have a look at the basis for everything - the book!

"Trolle og then magiske fela" ("Trolle and the magic fiddle) is a children's book written by Alexander Rybak ( @AlexanderRybak) with illustrations done by Thomas Kirkeberg ( @ThomasKirkeberg).

It was released September 19th 2015 and features a mix of your traditional audiobook with *songs* inbetween the "narration"!
Narrated/Read by Dennis Storhøi.

It spans 118 pages and the audiobook comes on three CDs included inside the book.

Officially translated story summary:
“Trolle is not like everyone else. He lacks a tail, and that is something the other trolls never let him forget. They tease and bother him all day long. One day, Trolle finds a magic violin that can change everything. But the magic fiddle

does not only bring good things and soon, Trolle finds himself in big trouble. That’s when the human child Alva appears, showing Trolle the power of true friendship. Trolle and the magic fiddle is an adventure about daring to be different, and to accept what is different in

others. It is a tale of a friendship that overcomes everything – even the darkest magic of the forest!“

While I've mentioned both the book and the musical, there is yet another type of media that [Trolle] will appear in... a video game!

The videogame was first announced in late 2016 and will be developed by Ravn Studio AS which is based in Norway!

It's aiming for the platformer genre, however there is not too much information yet.

Below is a link to an English summary from the devs themselves! :3

(I personally can't wait to play this!!

Reason for sharing
I am honestly not able to pin point what exactly made me fall in love with this story - a story I couldn't even understand (on a language barrier level) at all.

However, the more I learnt about this book and it's story, the more it felt like “something more

people should know about“, something I felt should be shared with people, because of the <message> it carries.

I'll just, have to leave a quote here from the Kilden Teater overview:

Original text:
“For meg har det vært viktig å skrive historien om Trolle. Det er viktig for meg å fortelle barn at de ikke er alene om å føle seg annerledes. At de ikke må slutte å tro på gode vennskap, selv om det kan ta lang tid.“

(Translation)
“For me it has been important to write the story about Trolle."
It's important to me to tell children that they're not alone in feeling different
That they mustn't stop believing in good friendships even if they take a long time."**

(Thanks to @Krisena for checking and correcting my translation! >A<))

(**And yeah, I noticed that there's an official translation of that quote in one of the links above, but I honestly forgot about it so uhh let's keep this here anyways gfdkjkjf)

Now with the quote directly relating to children, some might just dismiss it as a “dumb book for kids“, but that does not mean that it cannot..... "reach" adults/grown ups.
Allow me to..."extend" this topic a bit, in a thematic sense of why I personally want to share this work.

One never stops being “different“, and embracing this fact can be hard for many once they are confronted with difficulties or others that frown at them and expect them to change into something “normal“.
Feeling lonely and misunderstood in such situations is extremely normal,

and as clichée as this might sound - friends can change that loneliness into something colourful, making you embrace who you really are.

Everybody is special in their own way, sometimes we just need that one smile, that one laughter or that one person's voice to make us

realize it's okay to “be different“.

I understand that this might be a...stupid or "weak" reasons for wanting to share all of this, but there's just this feeling of "this piece of media somehow "touched me", so I want to share it with others."

(Thanks to everyone who read through this, I wish I could've put more effort into it ahhhhh ;; )
