Hyper Harry

The sweetest bouncy ball in the world Sam Loman A story centred around ADHD An original picture book by a great all-round talent Perfect to read aloud to both quiet and more active toddlers Harry hops, runs, rolls, bounces, tumbles and stumbles. He isn’t doing it on purpose. It just happens to him. His body feels much like an elastic band and it seems as if he’s got a ping-pong ball inside his head. This makes his life very hard at times.

For instance, when he has to focus on his school assignments, or when Harry says yes, when he actually means no, but there are ways to help him out!

Hyper Harry is a heartwarming and recognisable picture book for children from the age of 3, about how incredibly difficult it can sometimes be to just sit still.

The Adventures Of the Brave Knightness Janneke Schotveld, illustrations Milja Praagman A collection of exciting stories about a brave woman Perfect to read out loud, and beautifully illustrated by Milja Praagman Over 10,000 copies have already been sold She had already been different from the other children when she was a baby.

From a very young age, she would stand up for the weak, no bullying in her presence. No side wheels for her either, she taught herself how to ride a bike. Nor did she need swimming lessons. It was clear that she would never become a hairdresser, dentist, professor or bee-keeper.

No, she would become a knightness, the bravest knightness of the whole country.

The Adventures Of the Brave Knightness is a collection of exciting and humorous stories about a heroic woman who returns lions to the zoo, catches purse snatchers and rescues bakers from trees.

Janneke Schotveld worked at a special needs school for over 12 years, but she is now a full-time writer. Janneke's books are always filled with humour and imagination. In 2012, she won the Prijs van de Nederlandse Kinderjury for Super Miss!. Milja Praagman is a successful illustrator and writer of children’s books. Her books have been translated in several countries. She has won numerous awards, including a Zilveren Penseel and was asked to illustrate the Picture Book of the Year by CNPB.

Thé’s qualities: a good eye for detail, a precise drawing pen and a warm sense of humour.

– The jury of the ‘Zilveren Penseel’ award on The Tjong-Khing's Where is the cake?

‘Eh… origineel… en eh… hoogst interessant’, zei hij voorzichtig.

Uil maakte een diepe buiging en hield de deur voor hem open.

‘Treed binnen, Kleine Muis’, zei hij. ‘Wel oppassen voor het trapje.

En graag je voeten vegen.’

Zo rommelig als het er vanbuiten uitzag, zo netjes was het vanbinnen. ‘Veertjesbehang!’ riep Kleine Muis uit. ‘En glimwormlampen!’

‘Had je niet gedacht, hè?’ zei Uil glunderend. ‘Een verwennerijtje.

Zo heb ik er wel meer.’ Hij draaide de deur achter Kleine Muis in het slot, hing de sleutel aan zijn buikriem en spreidde zijn vleugels.

‘Welkom, Kleine Muis, jij bent vandaag mijn eregast.’

‘Eregast? Ik!?’ Kleine Muis keek verrast op. Een eregast was iets heel bijzonders, dat wist hij best. Thuis was hij de elfde in de rij.

Dat was dus niks bijzonders. En op school deed hij het echt niet zo denderend. Het afgelopen schooljaar had hij met de hakken over de sloot gehaald. Voor het hoofdvak Muizenissen had hij een dikke onvoldoende. Vond hij zelf niet zo erg. Problemen oplossen deed je toch gewoon als ze zich aandienden? Maar papa en mama waren erg boos Uil streek neer op een dikke tak. ‘Eindbestemming bereikt’, kraste hij.

Versuft kwam Kleine Muis overeind. Hij wreef zijn ogen uit.

‘Zelf gebouwd’, zei Uil glunderend. ‘Een hele klus, dat kan ik je wel zeggen. Wat vind je ervan?’

Eerlijk? Kleine Muis vond er niks aan. Het huis van Uil zag er als een rommeltje uit. Een allegaartje van braakballen en houtsnippers.

Maar Uil hengelde duidelijk naar een complimentje. Een aardig woordje kon nooit kwaad, vond mama. Ze wapperde met haar theedoek toen ze het zei. Papa dook weg achter zijn krant.

We help everyone, not just those you like. That's one of the strict rules of the centuries-old Ministry of Solutions, which anonymously solves other people's problems. But in practice, that rule is not easy for an eleven-year-old. Because the Ministry wants to solve Ralf's problems, and Ralf is such an unpleasant and angry boy that Nina does not want to help him.

Ralf is also a boy who is stuck in his parents' conflicting divorce. Things go bad at school, he hits children on the football field and his only friend wants him to steal things. The members of the Ministry, Alfa, Ruben, the old ladies Mrs Vis and Tirza, decide that they have to help him. And Nina? Nina participates. Reluctantly.

Shouldn’t I Know That?

hannes van lier

Hannes van Lier Freshen up your general knowledge without checking Wikipedia Learn about everyday facts that you haven’t given any thought yet

Hoor ik DIT niet

Nice gift book for curious know-it-alls Do you know the difference between port side and starboard? Is a major superior to a captain? And what do you know about the different layers of the atmosphere?

If you don’t remember the answers to the questions above, that’s no longer an issue in today’s smartphone age, as you can now very easily search for those things online. But this omnipresence of the Internet has made our brains lazy. Because why would we want to remember things when we can look up things so quickly?

Anyhow, that was Hannes van Lier’s starting point, to challenge himself and actively question all the things he comes across: ‘Do I get this?’ ‘Can I explain this?’ or ‘Am I not supposed to know this?’ He’s now made an overview of all kinds of fun facts that you are expected to know as an adult, but also things of which you may sometimes have to admit that you don’t remember them or can’t explain them. It’s a subjective guide of all the things he’s come across. So relatable!

Zonsverduistering of zoneclips Bij een zonsverduistering passeert de maan tussen de zon en de aarde. Het zonlicht wordt geblokkeerd en we zien de maan als een zwarte cirkel. Rond die zwarte cirkel zien we de gassen die de zon omringen (de corona), als een ring van vuur. De aarde en de maan blijven in beweging en na een paar minuten zien we het zonlicht weer verschijnen. Een totale zonsverduistering is er als de zon helemaal bedekt is, anders spreekt men van een gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering. Alleen in het kleine gebied dat door het midden van de maanschaduw wordt bedekt, kun je een totale zonsverduistering zien. Net buiten dit gebied zie je een gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering.

In de oudheid zorgden zonsverduisteringen voor heel wat angst en verwondering.

Rechtstreeks naar de zon kijken is gevaarlijk! Je kunt je ogen beschadigen en er zelfs blind van worden. In de zon kijken tijdens een eclips is nog gevaarlijker. De pupillen van onze ogen staan door het duister wijder open en zo komt er nog meer gevaarlijke straling op het netvlies terecht. Gelukkig zijn er speciaal ontworpen eclipsbrilletjes op de markt waarmee je veilig naar een zonsverduistering kunt kijken.

The (Un)usual Story of Bo (and Tom)

Features on IBBY's list of 'Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities 2021'

Tineke Honingh About friendship, confidence and the power of language Shines a different light on physically disabled people A heartwarming story about two children dealing with their problems instead of running away from them It isn’t that easy to leave the past behind. 12-year-old Bo moves out of the city into an old farm on the edge of a village. A new environment, a new school. She’s looking forward to it – and dreading it. Everything depends on that first day of school.

And it ends up being a disaster. Just when Bo starts to believe that it’ll all just be the same as in her previous school, she meets Tom. Thanks to Tom’s bravado and boldness, Bo discovers that with a touch of courage you can suddenly be much more than anyone has ever believed you could be; that you can even surprise yourself. But when she has just started trusting Tom, he does something terrible, putting Bo’s past out into the open. Through Tom’s attempts to make it up to her, Bo discovers why he has been helping her. It’s a discovery that’ll change everything once and for all.

Tineke Honingh is a communications consultant and author, and for a while she was also a teacher. First and foremost, however, she writes stories intended for children and young adults, or short stories intended for magazines, screenplays for comic books, serials on the internet or extensive stories that end up becoming a book, such as The (Un)usual Story of Bo (and Tom), which was highly praised upon publication.
