Today we read the beautiful picture book Hanna in the time of the tulips, a lovely story written by the British Deborah Noyes. The story takes place in the Netherlands, more than 400 years ago.
When the first tulip from Turkey comes to the Netherlands, everyone thinks the flower is very special. Hanna's daddy who always likes to play with her immediately thinks about making a lot of money and has no time left to play with Hanna...
The extraordinary illustrations are made by Bagram Ibatoulline, when you look at those you imagine yourself in the time of Hanna, centuries ago. The cover of the book is a work of art in itself. And if Rembrandt suddenly appears in the story, you will not be surprised at all. A very special picture book with an imaginative, beautiful story and gorgeous illustrations, we love this book.
3 radiant, ancient stars for Hanna in the time of the tulips, from the readers and the little listeners!
