Kristien Dieltiens

- A magnificent story collection with tales from all over the world.
- Big and beautifully illustrated collection of stories, folk tales and myths about giants.





We all know that giants are super strong but can be a bit dumb sometimes. They can shake the earth and chase the clouds away. In every culture they provide inspiration for stories. The famous Flemish author, Kristien Dieltens, went looking for stories about giants from all over the world. She rewrote those stories for a large audience, so both young and old will greatly enjoy reading this book.

The compelling and strong illustrations by Seppe Van Den Berghe instantly make you believe in giants again. His work is exciting, funny, and always beautifully composed.

The cloud-eaters: stories from around the world about giants

Riet Wille

Animal stories from different countries and cultures, retold in poetic language.



- Animal stories from across the globe
- A stunning book to cherish

Meet the heron from India that tricks fish, follow the race between a salmon and the redfish from Lapland, listen to the lullaby from the snow bunting in Russia. Wherever the stories are from, the fox is always the one known for his tricks and schemes. The spectacular illustrations by Sassafras De Bruyn bring to life exotic animal worlds with unexpected colours and striking pencil.




'The collaboration with Sassafras De Bruyn makes this collection a real work of art, beautiful to read aloud, as most of the fables are quite short and beautiful to look at.' (alleswatikmooikanvinden.org, November 2022)

'A wonderful cherishable book that belongs on every bookshelf. [...] Sassafras De Bruyn's stunning illustrations bring exotic animal worlds to life with unexpected colors and striking pencil lines. [...] What a delightful experience this first story!' (stoerleesvoer.nl, November 2022)
