Little Sophie and Lanky Flop

Double award-winning: Golden Slate Pencil and Golden Paintbrush

Seriously ill Sophie is confined to her bed. Desperate to know what real life is like, she takes part in the play What Life Has to Offer on the little stage in her room. Her cat Terror is the director and Sophie gets the leading role. With her puppets – the life-loving Arabella, the lazy, selfabsorbed Bertje, and the idler Lanky Flop – she experiences funny, exciting, and moving events, and realises what life could have been like, with all its highs and lows.

Praise:

‘I adore everything about this book. It is a book about life and a bit about death, and about the power of imagination. I fell a little bit in love with this book, and I still love it now.’ – Manon Sikkel, author and former Children’s Book Ambassador
