Nadia’s Day
Publisher: Luitingh-Sijthoff
A dreamy read aloud book about a little girl and the magic she sees in the world around her
The stories are accompanied by Miriam Bouwens’ delicate illustrations
Nadia starts her school year in a new class, together with her best friend Joris. Her former teacher used to sound like a little piglet when she laughed. What will new teacher Cora sound like? In the short stories in this book, Nadia experiences many other new things. With her two dads, she builds a volcano made out of sand, eats dragon fries and grows giant pumpkins. Grandpa Jan tells her about dog Biru, Mr Van Dam turns out to be a magician, and who is that neighbour who is always howling? In every story, Nadia sees beauty in the everyday world.
Praise:
‘It’s hardly surprising that adults read about Nadia’s adventures with a big smile on their faces (…) A great choice for any time of the day.’ – Libris
‘The stories are taken straight out of everyday life, have a funny undertone and sometimes also take place in Nadia’s fantasy world. The dreamy illustrations by Miriam Bouwens bring the stories to life. This sweet storybook stands out because of its diverse cast of characters, without it being the main theme of the book.’ – Het Boekenrijk
