An adaptation of the Christmas story with illustrations by Marieke Nelissen.

Gili wants to become a shepherd like her brothers, but they have their doubts.

Are girls suitable for herding sheep?

Then Gili lets her favorite sheep escape from the herd on a cold December night.

Are the brothers right after all?

In the pitch dark, Gili goes in search of her sheep.

She better not get lost or fall into a ravine.

And she prefers not to think about dangerous wolves at all.

But the thing about getting lost is that you don’t realize it until it’s already happened…

An atmospheric book about a runaway sheep, a brave girl

and a wolf with an appetite for two.

In this collection the two books about the Boon family have been brought together: ‘Nine Open Arms’ and ‘Heivisj’s Heaven’.

The sisters Fing, Muulke and Jes move together with their family for the umpteenth time, this time to a dilapidated house that bears the name Nine Open Arms. The opposite of worry seems within reach. But it is the turbulent 1930s and dark clouds are gathering in Europe. The sisters soon realize that they will have to do everything they can to fend off the approaching doom.

Six brothers are called to join the army. On their way to the front they have to check in at a borderpost. The brothers do not posess any suitable gifts or money to pass the border.  But they know stories. A lot of stories. The brothers tell them to the guard as if life depends on it. Which actually is true…
