A Modern Pipi Longstocking
The story is about a day in the life of a little girl named Lotte, who lives in a colorful house near the ocean, and her lively friends.
The book was well received by both Belgian and Dutch press, describing it as a “modern Pipi Longstocking” and “striking, dreamlike story,” and comparing it to the books of Lauren Child.
