The
last page of Sheryl Peterson's book “The
Best Part of a Sauna”
included great info about the sauna—the proper pronunciation, how
Finnish immigrants used the sauna, different kinds, words like löyly,
the cloud of steam produced by tossing water on the rocks, and vihta,
the soft branches for swishing one's back, and directions on how-to.
She
even mentioned the saunatonttu,
a little elf, who warns people when a fire was getting too hot.
All in about 600
words. Neat skill.
Sheryl
is the author of 22 children's books—an impressive accomplishment!
