The Gnome Book

A book about the life of the modern gnome had been on the wish list of Loes Riphagen, the author of 'Coco Can Do It!', for years. And as soon as you see the illustrations of 'The Gnome Book', you understand why: Loes has poured all the creativity, originality, and imagination she overflows with every day into this book. Not to mention her preference for drawing tiny trinkets and jokes on every page. In her loving attention to the gnome, our small (often invisible) fellow human being, Loes Riphagen shows once again what a great picture book maker she is. Loes drew on everyday things to make the world of the gnomes as tangible as possible. Little gnome Kik takes you into the world of the modern gnome. Discover how gnomes live, what they do and craft all day long, and how they manage to stay so well hidden. Whether it is the step-by-step instructions for making a gnome hat or a cross-section of a gnome house, you will feast your eyes on every page! 'Het Kabouterboek' is fun to read and endless to browse through from age 3. In 2024, this beautiful picture book was awarded a Silver Brush. Also dive into one of Loes's other books, such as 'Coco kan het!' (Picture Book of the Year 2021), 'Coco, kijk uit!', 'Coco en het gekke ding', or 'Kom mee, Kees'.
