A very special book about Dutch culture Marie Wijk worked for a long time in teaching. There she was struck by the vigour and expressions of children's drawings. She discovered that drawing is a world language and that children's drawings open many hearts among young and old. This gave her the idea of letting children tell about their own background on the basis of drawings. That is how the book The Netherlands... A Child's-eye View came into being. The drawings tell the story, supported only by brief informative texts. In addition, the book comprises a large number of stories, songs and recipes. The Netherlands...A Child's-eye View was originally made by children, for children. It soon became evident that many grown-ups, too, enjoyed this book. It gives in a nutshell a surprisingly complete picture of life in The Netherlands. For Dutch people this is a feast of recognition. For people from other countries and cultures, it gives a surprising insight into Dutch people and Dutch society. | ||
