The
big picture book I got to make with Carll Cneut! My most wide-spread
book, up til this date, thanks to the great illustrations. The story:
Nelius first sees them in the middle of the night: the butterflies. They
fly around his head, one million of them. His parents tell him that it
is time to start on his journey. Nelius follows the butterflies and
meets many animals. Some of them are too young, but others are old
enough to know what the butterflies mean. The butterflies guide him to
the love of his life!- A proof-translation in English is available.
- The book was also issued with a cd with the story, read by the famous Flemish actor Roel Vanderstukken.
