Dive into Norse mythology and learn how Thor became a strong, hammer-wielding god in this exciting picture book in the Little Myths series.

Most people know Thor for being the super strong God of Thunder who could control lightning and who rode around on a magical chariot pulled by goats. But once upon a time, Thor was just a little boy. Sure, he was the son of an almighty god, and he was a ferocious warrior, but in lots of ways he was just like you. He liked late-night snacks and playing games, and he had a really annoying friend, Loki. But he grew up, he grew stronger, he found a hammer, and he had all sorts of adventures. This is his story. Packed with facts from Norse mythology and comic-like illustrations, this is a humorous and informative “biography” of the God of Thunder, perfect for young and emerging readers.

Emma Adams grew up spending lots of her time in her local library, reading Roald Dahl books and imagining she was Matilda. Her love of reading turned into a love of publishing when she went to Loughborough University to study Publishing with English, and when Emma later started working on books for children it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Emma lives in Hackney, London.

Sam Caldwell is an illustrator based in Glasgow. He’s illustrated a number of books, including Tim Flannery’s Explore Your World series, Tales of Ancient Worlds, and The Book Family Robinson.

“Young fans of the Percy Jackson TV series and Marvel movies will enjoy the Little Myths series, which recounts the origins of famous mythical monsters and gods…Recommended as supplementals for libraries with well-stocked mythology sections."
