A Viking Story

A Viking Story…

The rain drops hit Viking’s forehead, and roll down into her eyes.  They sting, but soothe the burning from her own tears.

She doesn’t wipe them away.  They just fall with the rain drops to the sand color wooden deck at her feet.  Viking looks out towards the crashing waves and rain in the black color night, and doesn’t look back.

As she points her ship into the black, she remembers the time she sailed out with her father and the other Vikings to fish as a young girl.  She was the only girl on the ship.  All of the other girls had to stay back in the village with the rest of the Vikings, but Viking’s Dad had a soft spot for her requests.

She begged him to fish with him and the other boys.  She knew she could so just as well, and saw no point in the idle chit chat she endured daily with the other village Viking girls.

Why those girls had to make fun of a Viking and all Vikings who passed with their hair or dress, she never knew, but it bored her so.

She loved to be on the water, and down in the waves to swim every chance she got, and she knew that if she could show her Dad she could fish with the boys, her next request could be to fight like Vikings with a sword and shield!

Now, a Viking leaves into the black color night…alone and sad, but she knows she must go.

Introducing Kids Book 3–The Viking & the hermit: Shaku Riding available on Amazon Kindle!

“Hermit?”

“Yes, Viking.”

“Did you know that kids can read our third story book of our books now?”

“Our third story book for kids. We have more stories for kids than just three, Viking.”

“Of course, but the kids have to catch up now to our third book first, don’t you think?”

“Oh yes, because this book finally gets to what we talked about when we made our video, remember?”

“I remember, Hermit.  We gave the kids a clue about what was in the deep water, and I almost gave it away.  They still have to read our books to know the whole story though, right?”

 

“After all, the kids will miss all the excitement we had in Book 3.”

“Very true, Viking.  Kids should read our story books from the beginning, because we really have one big story that we tell in parts for the book series.”

“Yes, indeed.  Kids should read, and follow along from the beginning of our books in the series. Plus, each story book has an Introduction that tells more about us, and who we are before our adventures for books together.”

“What’s next for our books in the series, Hermit?”

“Next, we have our first three books combined in one story book for kids in a print version.”

“Viking?”

“Yes, Hermit”

“Do you know what they are saying about our story books, Viking?”

“No.  What are they saying?”

“I think they like them!”

“They do, Hermit?”

“It seems so, Viking.”

“One of our readers said we are ‘Simply Charming’.”

“Hermit, I think I am blushing.”

“Your face is red, Viking.”

“Is it? Now it is even more red.”

“Do you want to know what some of our readers said, Viking?”

“Oh yes, Hermit.  Tell me!”

“Here are some customer reviews on Amazon about our Viking story book for children, Viking”…

Very Cute! 5 stars…Definitely an enjoyable read for kids. The storyline is very entertaining and the illustrations are adorable. Can’t wait to read more!

Simply Charming! 5 stars…I volunteer in a kindergarten class, and I’m always looking for books to read to the students. I found this storybook simply charming!

The story and the characters are wonderful, and the illustrations are so colorful and appealing for a children’s book!

I look forward to reading it to the students and following the series.

The Viking and the Hermit 5 stars…A good story for kids, very imaginative and colorful. It pulls the reader into the world of the Hermit’s island and the beginning of adventures to come.

The Viking and the hermit 5 stars…Interesting idea. I read it for my girls and than faced some questions about Vikings that ‘forced’ me to refresh my history lessons. It was fun and beneficial for both, girls and myself. I am looking forward to reading the Book 2 that was announced from the same series.

Super Book for Kids 4 stars…I read this book with my 5-year old… twice in fact as she enjoyed so much..!

Nice storyline and very creative..

What a cute story! 5 stars…I got this book for my niece. I wanted her listen to a story different from what she had already heard before. I’m glad I picked up this book. The story is very entertaining for kids and the illustrations are super cute! Great find!

“Wow, Hermit!  I think they really do like us and our story book! Those are a lot of stars.”

“Those stars were all for our first story book, and they still have to read our second story book, Viking.”

“Oh yes.  They must read our second story book to find out how I did with my spear fishing.”

“Yes indeed, Viking.  Spear fishing here on Hermit Island is not like any other spear fishing, is it?”

“I will give you that, Hermit…indeed!  I can’t wait to hear what they think of our second story book, and of course, our third story book is almost ready to tell as well.”

“Shh, Viking.  Don’t give it away!”

“I know.  They will have to find out, won’t they?”

“Yes, Viking.  They can find out all about The Grabbas Are Coming next.”

“Let’s get back to Clam House Clearing, shall we Viking?”

“Sounds good, Hermit.”
