Freddie Langeler was an Amsterdam illustrator / writer of children's books and Jantje in Bloembollenland is the name of one of those books. The picture book first appeared in 1938 and is still being sold.
The old versions of her books are still very much sought after, De Sterrekindertjes, Het Zomerfeest and Sinterklaas Kapoentje, they remain widely read. We also like to keep her sweet picture books alive, in the memory of the mini monsters.
When Jantje sees the first snowdrop in the garden, he asks her when the flower bulbs will come out. Does she know? His mummy's birthday is approaching and Jantje would like to give her a beautiful bunch of flowers. A sweet story for the youngest ones.
