Meet Kirsten

Meet Kirsten
Chapter One: America!
Where do you and your friends like to play?

Do you have relatives who live far away?

What would you do if you were on Kirstens ship, traveling to America for the first time, and someone in your family was sent back?


Chapter Two: Lost!


Cloudberries:
The ripe fruits are golden-yellow, soft and juicy, and are rich in vitamin C. When eaten fresh, cloudberries have a distinctive tart taste. When over-ripe, they have a creamy texture and flavor somewhat like yogurt. They are often made into jams, juices, and tarts. In Sweden, they are also used as an ice cream topping.
Due to its high vitamin C content, the berry is valued as protection against scurvy. Its high benzoic acid content acts as a natural preservative.

Have you ever been lost? What did you do?

How did you reunite with your parents?

What could Kirsten have done differently?


Chapter Three: Across the New Land
How do you try to stay close to family?

This is my favorite picture in the book, which is your favorite?


Chapter Four: A Sad Journey
Cholera

Has a friend of yours died? How did you feel?


Chapter Five: Home at Last
What would you bring to a new world?

What’s the longest distance you’ve walked?


Meadowlark

Looking Back
What would you take on a journey like Kirstens?
