After the success of the cardboard edition of 'I want my hat back' by Bronzen Griffel winner Jon Klassen, a similarly hefty edition of 'This hat is not mine' was inevitable. In the deliciously thick 'This hat is not mine', Jon Klassen is at his best with his bone-dry humor.
A small fish has a hat that is not his. He stole it from a big fish. The big fish was asleep when the little fish stole his hat, but what if he wakes up? Will the big fish come after him when he notices that his hat is gone? To be on the safe side, the little fish swims away as quickly as possible and hides in a place where no one can find him. No one?
For 'The rock from above', translated by Edward van de Vendel, Jon Klassen received a Bronzen Griffel in 2022.
