Nadia’s Night
A charming book for young children about a girl and her two dads
Five-year-old Nadia has a goldfish called Mr Rosso. When she closes her eyes, Mr Rosso dances on the fountain in the garden, spaghetti grows in the field, knight Olivier rides his horse through the woods, and grandpa Gijs becomes a worm. In the stories in this book, Nadia goes on a treasure hunt with neighbour Joris and her two dads Joep and Otto, makes witches’ soup, finds a shark’s tooth on the beach, and searches for a runaway goat. When Daddy Joep and Daddy Otto get married, Nadia is in for a big surprise…
Praise:
‘It is hardly surprising that adults read about Nadia’s adventures with a big smile on their faces (…) Nadia’s Night is a lovely read aloud book for home and in the classroom. And the illustrations are beautiful. 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
