I wish I was different

'I wish I was different' is a golden classic by master storyteller Paul Biegel, full of nature and adventure. This imaginative children's book features brand new colour illustrations by illustrator Marieke Nelissen ('The Prince's Desire'). Anders shouts so often that he wants to be different that everyone has started calling him Anders. He constantly trips over his own feet and he can't learn at all. When one day, after hours of cramming, he still hasn't memorised the seven times table, he asks a magician for advice. She knows the solution: the Great Wizard can help him, but he won't do that just like that! Anders must first complete a difficult task - and that task leads to the journey of Anders' life... This exciting classic by master storyteller Paul Biegel is also a pleasure to read aloud and to read yourself. A modern fairy tale that still feels timeless and is just a little bit more idiosyncratic than you would have expected.
