mijn hertje

The atmospheric picture book 'Mijn hertje' by Kallie George and Elly MacKay tells the story of a little girl who always misses out on the fun things the rest of her family does, simply because she is still so small! She misses the shooting stars because it is past her bedtime, and she misses out on picking apples because they hang just out of reach.

When everyone else spots a deer one morning and she misses it again, she decides that enough is enough. With a sugar cube in her pocket, she sets off determined to find a deer of her own. Along the way, she encounters all sorts of things, though no deer. Just as she is about to give up, she spots a beautiful little fawn that is still small, just like her. Her very own secret fawn.

This children's book explores that familiar feeling of being overlooked and celebrates a deep love for animals.

The gorgeous illustrations, crafted with ink, paper, scissors, and light, create a uniquely dreamy atmosphere. Step into this dreamy world and follow the search for that secret little fawn.
