Publisher's Synopsis
Lotte lives in Sarawak on the island of Borneo where it is very hot. You'll see monkeys, crocodiles and butterflies as big as your hand. In the jungle lives the Iban that rushes through the headlines. But Lotte is not afraid...just maybe a little for the teacher along with her sister, brother and friends living out big and small adventures. The hard rain made a pool full of flying fish dance from the garden or conversely, the houses blazing flames of a forest fire. Read along with Lotte and discover how exciting it is to grow up between two cultures. This book is suitable for children aged 7 to 10 years. Karien van Ditzhuijzen (1976) lived and worked all over the world, from the jungle to the desert. She studied chemistry and if you look closely you can see in the store a lot of ice cream where she devised the recipe. Now she is the mother of thyme, lime and jasmine and Karien writes stories about and for children and creative cooking. Visit her website http: //k-meel.blogspot.com if you want to know more.
