One of the most beloved books of our mini monsters is De brief voor de koning (The Letter for the King), by Tonke Dracht. And let that be just the book that the Geef een boek cadeau (Give a child a book) foundation has chosen as their book for 2021. So nice that hopefully all Dutch and Belgian children can now enjoy this beautiful book. This book was nominated for the Griffel of all Griffels!
The story is about the young Thuri who is given a secret, very dangerous assignment in the middle of the night. He has to deliver an extremely important letter to the king, but there are many dangers lurking along the way... We don't have to tell you that the book is super exciting.
