It is one of the coldest days of the year on the Island when little Gorgel Bobba is born in a warm hole under the snow-covered dunes. In the spring he plays outside with other Gorgels for the first time. At night he has to go to school, to learn about animals, plants and of course human children! Bobba is one of the fastest Waakgorgels-in-training and when he receives his diploma after a few years, the Grey Gorgel gives him the picture of the boy he has to watch over. A little boy with curls. His name is Melle…
Do Gorgels really exist? According to the readers they do!
Comedian Jochem Myjer gets questions every day and children email him their self-made Gorgels. In this picture book he reveals a little more about their secret life. Rick de Haas draws a warm world that every child would like to live in.
