I wish I were different

'I Wish I Were Different' is a golden classic by master storyteller Paul Biegel, full of nature and adventure. This imaginative children's book features brand-new color illustrations by illustrator Marieke Nelissen ('The Prince's Longing'). 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 cannot learn at all. When, one day, after hours of rote learning, he still hasn't memorized the times table of seven, he asks a sorceress for advice. She knows the solution: the Great Wizard can help him, but he won't do it 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 joy to read aloud and to read yourself. A modern fairy tale that still feels timeless and is just a little more headstrong than you might have expected.
