a j oy f u l h a n d s - o n b o o k f o r d e a l i n g with disasters l arge and small

A joyful hands-on book for dealing with disasters large and small

l e m n i s c a at

Everyone knows about the Red Cross and the life-saving work this organization carries out worldwide. But what can you do yourself, at home or in your own neighbourhood, when disaster strikes?

Jesse Goossens has written a manual dealing with thirty­four disasters large and small, for everyone aged nine and up, and she’s collected funny, gruesome and wonderful facts about every possible catastrophe. Because do you know how many bones you can break? How to resuscitate someone? How to tell a forest fire is coming, or how much blood your body’s got in it? And what was the biggest earthquake ever?

Linde Faas has taken these facts and brought them ­together to create a sparkling, joyful whole, a book that’s a pleasure to leaf through as well as an essential reference work for all children, young and old, who want to help make the world a better place.

Part of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the British Red Cross. ­

Jesse Goossens (1969) is co-publisher and editor at Lemniscaat, but first and foremost a writer. Her work includes travel novels, works on theatre, a young adult novel, several interview collections on topics of social justice, and books about weird fun facts.

WWW.COULDBEWORDS.NL Linde Faas (1985) graduated with honours from the Academy of Art and Design St. Joost, Breda. She works as a film animator and as a visual artist, with a steadily growing international reputation.

Ingrid & Dieter Schubert

The Umbrella

A wordless picture book that tells a thousand stories

On a windy day, a little dog finds an umbrella in the garden. Just when the dog picks up the umbrella, it catches the wind and pulls the dog up into the sky. This is the start of a fantastic journey around the world.

The wind carries the umbrella and the dog all over the world, from the desert to the sea, from the jungle to the North Pole. . .

“Move On Over, Mary Poppins!”

– Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast “The Schuberts’ wordless fantasy unfolds like a long-forgotten childhood favorite ... it’s a marvelous treat for the senses; masterful drafting and splendid color make every spread worth lingering over.”

– Publishers Weekly “[A] wordless masterpiece ... Each double-page spread bleeds off the pages, absorbing the reader into each landscape, imagining the untold story the dog lives with each scene... this book is a going to be a winner.”

– Eric Carle Museum Of Picture Book Blog

Ingrid (b. 1953) and Dieter Schubert (b. 1947), a husband and wife team, are the creators of many award-winning picture books for children. The Schuberts were both born and raised in Germany before moving to the Netherlands to attend the Gerrit Rietveld Academy for Fine Arts and Design. Their first effort, There’s a Crocodile Under my Bed! was an immediate success and was published in 14 countries. Today their many books for children are available in 22 languages.

Cola Fountains and Splattering Paint Bombs

Dozens of fun do-it-yourself experiments for children and parents

Bring science home with this colourful collection of ­science experiments using everyday household items.

Turn your home or garden into a laboratory and create paint bombs and elephant toothpaste, let crystals grow, volcanoes erupt and CDs fly, build your own lava lamp, and discover how you can bounce an egg.

Jesse Goossens has collected 47 spectacular, exciting and sensational experiments with clear instructions and helpful information. Illustrator Linde Faas has exploded her palette to introduce even more giggles. The result is a festive book for budding inventors and other sorcerer’s apprentices.

Adult supervision recommended – (grand)parents and teachers will have as much fun as the children!

“Done in the style of Quentin Blake, Faas’s illustrations add joyous beauty … to each activity.”

– School Library Journal “What wonderful about this book is that it doesn’t just explain how to do the experiment, but also explains the science behind it. So it actually helps children understand physics and chemistry.”

Mark Janssen

Nothing Happened An ode to the endless imagination of every child

It is evening. Sarah and Nick are thinking about their dull day. Nothing happened, really...

Well... Nick did stand on his hands, went for a swim and sat around for a bit – and Sarah caught a glimpse of a butterfly and went down a slide.

But this is where the magic of children’s imagination emerges – dreamily illustrated by Mark Janssen. For the handstand was made on the head of a tiger. Nick took a rest on the nose of an enormous dragon and swam with colourful fish. And Sarah slid down an elephant’s trunk and saw the butterfly while she was standing among some really cuddly bears.

With Sarah and Nick, you slip back into the world where you also used to walk home with lions and sang higher than the brightly coloured tropical birds.

A delightfully cheerful book that sparkles with fantasy and erases all boundaries between dream and daily reality. A must-have for every child – and for every parent who remembers being one.

“Gorgeous illustrations [...] You immediately want to have these large animal portraits on your wall.”

– Trouw “An ode to children’s power of imagination, full of dreamy, colourful, wonderful illustrations.”

– J/M Ouders

“Mark Janssen [...] goes all-out in his first picture book.

You have to get happy looking at his sparkling and exciting fairytale worlds.”

– nrc Handelsblad

Mark Janssen studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Maastricht. He illustrates books for both children and adults and has worked on over 500 books. Nothing Happened is his first picture book.

Maranke Rinck & Martijn van der Linden

Tangram Cat

Play magic with tangram!

Tangram included

A boy plays with tangram. He uses the pieces to lay a cat – a wonderful cat of course; you can leave that up to Martijn van der Linden. But the cat feels lonely...

Suddenly I understood the cat.

‘You want someone to play with!’ I said.

The cat still didn’t say anything.

But I knew I was right.

Now tangram isn’t easy. The boy thinks he’s laying down a new cat, but it turns out to be a dog, which chases after the cat. A new try turns out to be a crocodile – not what you would call a nice friend!

The cat has to put up with a lot before the boy gets a really good idea. He lays down himself! Now they can play together.

Artist couple Martijn and Maranke constantly reinvent themselves. In Tangram Cat, they surpass themselves yet again. All pictures in the book can be made with the tangram game that is included in the back.

“Not only terribly ingenious and extremely beautiful, but also great fun.”

– nrc Handelsblad “Wildly original picture book.” ***** – de Volkskrant

Maranke Rinck is a full-time author, writing stories for children as well as texts for companies. With her husband Martijn van der Linden, she forms a wonderful artistic couple.

WWW.MARANKERINCK.NL Martijn van der Linden studied illustration at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. He works for several publishers as designer and illustrator.

Alice Hoogstad

Monster Book

A picture book that will colour your world in many ways.

Alice Hoogstad’s latest picture book creates a world without words yet filled with stories.

In a town that consists entirely of black and white, a girl adds colour with her crayons by drawing monsters on the streets. The colourful monsters come alive and start disrupting the quiet little town.

The beautiful illustrations, with their many intricate details, instantly draw you into the story. The explosion of colours that follows will boggle your mind and keep you coming back for more.

Beware – you’d better keep the colour crayons out of your children’s reach after reading this book . . . They might become too inspired!

“This wordless book shows the power of art for a whole community … [It] celebrates public art and then turns whimsical and magical as the creatures come to life … There is a radiant quality to the colors that are used and the loose and generous way the colors are applied invites children to be even more creative when they color too.”

– Waking Brain Cells

“In her own recognisable style, Alice Hoogstad has created a wonderfully appealing picture book, with a beautiful background pattern of houses and people that is consistently maintained throughout. Once you start leafing through Monster Book, you’ll feel like grabbing colour crayons yourself.”

– Jury report for the Golden Brush Award

Alice Hoogstad (1957) has illustrated numerous internationally published children’s and picture books, some of which have been turned into animation films. Her work has also been exhibited in museums. Monster Book is her first solo project with Lemniscaat.

Charlotte Dematons

The Yellow Balloon

A delightful ride for armchair travellers

Writer and illustrator Charlotte Dematons infuses this picture book with an enchanting appeal. Lovely watercolours present a great and diverse planet, teeming with life at all times of day and night. People and animals of every shape, colour, size and costume are portrayed, busy at work and play. As the yellow balloon floats through ­several historical periods – ancient, medieval, and contemporary – and through both natural and supernatural realms, young readers can look out for the small blue car, the fakir on his flying carpet, and the scoundrel in prison garb.

This fascinating story takes young readers on a lively and fun-filled journey around the globe.

“This oversize, wordless picture book, originally published in the Netherlands, is a combination of Where’s Waldo and The Red Balloon. ... The appeal is the discovery of new and recurring images within each brightly colored milieu – a coven of witches in the forest, Batman in a corner, a fakir on a magic carpet, a fugitive in prison-striped garb. The art commands repeated viewings, and the more you look the more you see.”

– Booklist “Dematons’s art is both handsome and engagingly colorful, and the offbeat juxtapositions and cleverly concealed stories add a lot of interest.”

– Horn Book

“The aerial views are panoramic and the colors are breathtaking. Depicting many different parts of the world and many unique landscapes, the illustrations are imaginative and elaborate, and brimming with hundreds of captivating miniature details. With the artwork providing a springboard, opportunities for picture-inspired storytelling are unlimited. This stunning offering has broad appeal.”

– School Library Journal Charlotte Dematons (1957) was born in France and studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Art in Amsterdam. Ms. ­Dematons has illustrated numerous children’s books for which she received many prestigious awards. Uniquely talented in picture-book art, Charlotte’s work is reminiscent of an old master, painted with loving care.
