Olifant en BigReeks
Deze geliefde serie onderzoekt op hilarische en tedere wijze de kracht van vriendschap tussen twee onwaarschijnlijke metgezellen: een voorzichtige olifant en een enthousiast varkentje. Door middel van eenvoudige maar geestige dialogen en herkenbare scenario's leren jonge lezers over emoties, delen en het overwinnen van uitdagingen. Elk verhaal zit vol gelach en deelt tegelijkertijd subtiele lessen over empathie en het waarderen van verschillen. Het is een perfecte voorleeservaring voor kleintjes die dol zullen zijn op deze twee onvergetelijke vrienden.
