'In this compelling book, Erstad and his colleagues welcome the reader to the Grorud Valley in Norway, where we meet children and youth as they negotiate significant points of transition. This text profoundly honors the Norwegian concept of 'Bildung' as the authors capture the children's knowledge and interactions in the world as they move through school.” Catherine Compton-Lilly, University of Wisconsin, Madison
