Jette has just had her birthday. She is now ten years old. Ten! Not her little brother Emiel: he will always be six. He was so ill that the doctors could not cure him. Dark clouds of anger and sadness hang over Jette. Although there are also fond memories: of the holiday with their parents, of the pizza heaven, of how they played funeral. Because forgetting Emiel: never. Jette wonders how life will go on without Emiel. And actually she would also like to know why the sun is so hot, whether worms can catch a cold and what happens to you when you die. And: do fish actually sleep?

After Krik and Domper, Krik and Melle, Hanna Kraan completed the enthusiastically received series about the cheerful squirrel, the grumpy toad and the vain blackbird with De tuin van Krik. This calls for a special edition with all the stories about the trio! Now completely re-illustrated by Mies van Hout in beautiful color pictures. This ultimate reading bundle includes all the adventures that Krik, Domper and Melle experience in the garden of the Keizer family. Through the eyes of the small animals we see, among other things, how people interact with nature. Because even though we do not understand the animals, the stories show that they understand us all too well! Whoever has read (to) I am Krik, Krik am I will look around differently when he goes outside again. The world has become a little more beautiful. Thanks to Hanna Kraan. 'Every child falls in love with the red-brown squirrel with his fluffy tail, which is depicted on almost every page. I am Krik, Krik am I is a wonderful reading collection that every child should have read.' - Teacher Anke

The meditations in "My Garden" are relaxing and enjoyable. They promote peace and create cozy moments.

The stories always begin in the home garden, where boys and girls have plenty to discover and experience. They crawl through the hedge and follow a path to a river. They smell flowers, pick strawberries, or are joined by an animal.

Reading aloud can be done during the day to create a moment of calm, or in the evening before bed. The unique drawings by Kyra Beeftink (age 10) and Pepijn Linden (age 10) demonstrate that the meditations can also serve as a source of creative inspiration.

Janni Meedendorp: "I created them for my children's yoga class. Parents asked for them when their children enthusiastically retold the stories or showed drawings of 'their' gardens. Now the meditations are available to everyone in this richly illustrated book."
