During a united nations member states committee debate in October 2019, fostering stable families and promotion of its vital role in social protection of youth, the old and disabled was mentioned as a priority for many countries. The family’s role was noted in helping societies be more inclusive. From the debate, the European union noted that balancing work and family remained a challenge for many families in Europe.1
From a Biblical perspective, God made the first family to ever exist and placed them in a good home. His actions shows that He wills wellness for the family. Nora and Nia is therefore a creative family book. It is written to be read and hopefully be an inspiration in helping foster stability in families while supporting it in playing its vital role in social inclusion. Through integration of healthy stabilizing values like play, creativity, work and godly bible training in daily routines, I hope you and your family will enjoy reading it.

Nora and Nia are seven year old twins. They live in a small town in the countryside of Denmark. They are girls and like all seven year olds, they like playing. They can play outside all day when the weather is sunny. In fact if it were not for mum calling them indoors, they can play long into the dark night during summer school holidays.
