Lisette's Lie

Lisette和好友Bobbi決定試試看「說謊」是什麼感覺，於是對朋友Popof說他們要去爬山。沒想到Popof也想一起去，兩人只好發揮創意「變出」一座山……。《Lisette’s Lie》以輕鬆詼諧的方式，帶出故事與謊言之間的微妙差異。Catharina Valckx筆下的動物角色富有童心，情節展現孩子面對突發情境時的靈機應變，是一本既具想像力又引人共鳴的繪本。

A springtime fresh picture book about a good day out with friends—climbing mountains, swimming and singing—and the difference between storytelling and lies.

Lisette and her friend Bobbi the lizard have never told a lie. But they are eager to try—it might be fun! They tell Popof they are going for a trip to the mountains. When Popof decides to come too, they realise they’ll have to make the mountain. A liar needs to improvise.

In this funny story about imaginative play with friends, Lisette’s creativity and quick thinking make for a wonderful day out. Gently exploring the differences between storytelling and little white lies and the importance of good intentions, this picture book is ideal to read aloud with preschoolers. With illustrations that convey a range of mood and emotion, the animal friends are brimming with personality and childlike playfulness.

Catharina Valckx was born in the Netherlands and grew up in France with four sisters. She traveled back and forth between the two countries before settling down in Amsterdam. She started writing books for children after the birth of her son. Her books are like guides for a happy life.
