Joukje Akveld Boeken

Ollie doesn't see things the same way everybody else does (and he certainly doesn't see things the same way his older sister does). Instead of cars in traffic, Ollie sees a circus parade. Instead of cows grazing in a field, Ollie sees deadly bison with sharp horns and hooves. And at school, instead of letters on the board, Ollie sees birds with pointy beaks, and fish with flapping tails in the big blue sea. Ollie knows he doesn't need glasses, because he likes the world better the way he sees it. But will his parents and bossy sister see things his way?

Bobby and William aren t quite sure how the argument started, but it escalates until William gets so frustrated he tells Bobby to leave. Bobby does just that, hopping on his bike and furiously riding away. As he travels through the city and into the country side, though, he begins to calm down. Maybe William had a point after all?

Olli fühlt sich sehr wohl in seiner Welt. Was für andere Kühe, Autos oder langweilige Boote sind, sieht er als schnaufende Büffel, Zirkusleute und Piratenschiffe. Doch seine Eltern, seine Schwester und Lehrerin sehen das anders: In ihren Augen braucht er eine Brille. Joukje Akvelds Bilderbuch-Debüt ist ein gelungenes Loblied auf Selbst- bestimmung und Fantasie.
