They sit very quietly together, Robin and Mom and Dad. Only Robin wobbles a little now and then. They look at the stars, the silent stars in the high, high sky. And the stars look at Robin and Mom and Dad and they wink. And then... and there... yes... Robin knows for sure... there falls a star! A flash, a streak, a glowing point that rushes through the sky. 'Did you see it? Did you see it?' Robin shouts. 'Did you see the falling star?' 'I saw it,' says Mom. 'Me too,' says Dad. 'Now we can all make a wish.' Robin is glad he didn't go pee. Do you know a child who didn't grow up with stories about Robin? There's nothing better than climbing onto Mom or Dad's lap to be read to, and from that safe place to step into Robin's world. In his world, the everyday becomes super exciting - exactly as life should be for a five-year-old. In 1990 Robins zomer (Robin's Summer) was published, the first book in a long series about Robin, the most endearing toddler in the Netherlands. Robin en God (Robin and God) - the sixth book in the series - was awarded a Gouden Griffel (Golden Griffel). With O rode papaver, boem pats knal (O red poppy, boom, bang), Sjoerd Kuyper proves once again that Robin is irresistible: for over 20 years he has looked at life with eternal childlike wonder.
