Wiplala

Meer over het boek

The Blom family—Mr. Blom, his children Nella Della and Johannes, and their cat Fliege—are surprised when a tiny creature named Wiplala emerges from their kitchen cupboard. Wiplala, about the size of a finger, has been sent away from his fellow Wiplalas because he cannot perform his magic well. While he can easily turn people and animals into stone, he struggles to reverse the spell. This leads to complications when Arthur Hollidee, a neighbor and struggling poet, becomes a statue in town. Things take a turn for the worse when Wiplala shrinks Nella Della, Johannes, and Mr. Blom to his size to save them from being arrested by the police. Unfortunately, he forgets what they need to return to their normal size. Shrunk down, the three embark on numerous perilous adventures with Wiplala, learning to navigate the fears of the world and the importance of connecting with children when one is as small as a finger.
