Mijn kleine koffertje vol dromen. Door: Mariette Vanhalewijn. Tekeningen: Jaklien Moerman.

Als kind was ik verliefd op een dik boek dat ik had. Eentje met prachtige verhalen en immens mooie tekeningen. Ik herinner me niet meer of het Een koffertje vol dromen of Gaatjes in de hemel was. Ik vond het jarenlang jammer dat mijn moeder het boek niet heeft bijgehouden. Toen ik al iets ouder was ontdekte ik dat mijn geboortekaartje er eentje was met een tekening van Jaklien Moerman. Dat vind ik nog steeds geweldig cool.

Ik ben van 1979, dat had u misschien al geraden. In die tijd waren de boeken van Vanhalewijn, met tekeningen van Jaklien Moerman immens populair. Met rede. Ik hou er nog steeds van en ben dan ook giga blij dat uitgeverij Oogappel Mijn kleine koffertje vol dromen heeft uitgebracht. Een klein boekje met 5 verhalen, met de originele tekeningen.

De verhalen én prenten zijn tijdloos. Ze ontroeren, verwarmen je hart, ademen een gezellige portie nostalgie uit zonder oubollig aan te doen. Ik ben heel blij met mijn boek, ik ga het mijn leven lang koesteren. En duimen dat er nog meer van Mariette en Jaklien wordt heruitgegeven! Voor de fans van vroeger en vooral ook voor de komende generaties.

The youngest witch in all of Witchville, Wanda was forever forgetting to clean up after herself. One day her frustrated mother, pushed to the brink by her daughter's latest inconsiderate action, decided that Wanda must be punished. Set down on the edge of the human world, the little witch was instructed to do a good deed amongst the people she encountered. Only then would she be allowed to return to her home. But how could Wanda meet this requirement, when the humans she came across, although invariably kind to her, wanted nothing of her? Only when she met a little human boy, himself being punished, did she get an idea of how she could perform her good deed...

Originally published in 1970 in the Netherlands as De kleine Heks Elena, this lovely little witchy picture-book was translated into English that same year, and released here in the states as The Little Witch Wanda. Author Mariette Vanhalewijn and illustrator Jaklien Moerman seem to have worked together on a number of picture-books, but only this one and Princess Penelope's 365 Dresses appear to have been translated. I will definitely be tracking down the latter, as I found this one so enjoyable! The story was engaging, and featured a goodhearted little heroine, while the artwork was charming. I loved Moerman's use of color here - the purples and greens, the whitish shade of Wanda's hair - and her stylized, folk-art feeling characters managed to be both cute and beautiful (two things that don't always go together, in my estimation). Recommended to picture-book readers who enjoy witchy fare on the sweeter side, as well as to those who enjoy vintage illustration styles.
