Charlotte Dematons Bücher

Holland – a land full of surprises, strange traditions, free-spirited people and a rich history. Charlotte Dematons, known for her well-loved picture book The Yellow Balloon, grew up in France, but moved to the Netherlands to study art as so many have before her. With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home, Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch. It's easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker, skating on the ice, between the scenes of Avercamp, Bruegel and Bosch – and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth. Also Available: Holland and 1000 Things About Holland set (picture book hardcover with accompanying paperback) $29.95.1000 Things About Holland explains all the details of every amazing picture, making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips, windmills and so much more.

A delightful ride for armchair travellers. Writer and illustrator Charlotte Dematons infuses this picture book with an enchanting appeal. Lovely watercolours present a great and diverse planet, teeming with life at all times of day and night. People and animals of every shape, colour, size and costume are portrayed, busy at work and play. As the yellow balloon floats through several historical periods - ancient, medieval, and contemporary - and through both natural and supernatural realms, young readers can look out for the small blue car, the fakir on his flying carpet, and the scoundrel in prison garb. This fascinating story takes young readers on a lively and fun-filled journey around the globe.

Twee kinderen, een prinses en een tuinmansjongen, spelen in de tuin van het kasteel. Ze gaan van elkaar houden, maar dat mag niet. 'Jij bent de mijnewel,' verzucht de tuinmansjongen, 'maar ik ben de jouweniet.' Het prinsesje verzet zich hevig tegen de macht van de heks Sirdis die hun liefde dwarsboomt. Maar ze kan niet voorkomen dat de tuinmansjongen door Sirdis wordt veranderd in een bloem. Wanhopig van verdriet wil Mijnewel alles doen om haar Jouweniet terug te krijgen. Zelfs al moet ze daarvoor naar de dode stad Dorr...

It can be a forest inhabited by a dragon and a sleeping giant. It can be rocks near a shore, with a boat just ready to take you out to sea, where there might be whales, mermaids, or even pirates!
