Tara Sweeney is an award-winning artist, illustrator. She most recently co–illustrated and authored the book, A to Zåäö: Playing with History at the American Swedish Institute with her son, Nate Christopherson. More of an artist that an author/illustrator, Sweeney is professor emeritus at Augsburg University, where she taught drawing and painting for twenty-five years. You can find a gallery of her work on her website. She and Christopherson both live in Saint Paul. This book takes the reader on a tour of the American Swedish Institute while teaching the Swedish alphabet to children. Tara has created this video with all the words from the book pronounced by a variety of people so you can practice getting it right. While much of Sweeny’s work geared toward adult, she also co-illustrated the book Henry the Boy by Molly Felder with her son.
