Toon Tellegen – författare

Igelkotten känner sig ensam och bestämmer sig för att bjuda in skogens djur på fest. Men nästan genast börjar han fundera på allt som kan gå fel. Tänk om ingen kommer? Tänk om de inte tycker honom? Det kanske inte var någon bra idé med fest trots allt.

Igelkottens dilemma är en finstämd, fabelartad berättelse om social oro och längtan efter gemenskap. Med humor och värme skildras den lilla igelkottens grubblerier. I början framstår hans försök att bjuda in som tafatta, men efter hand framträder en djupare bild av hans osäkerhet - och berättelsen blir berörande på ett djupare plan.

Den trösterika tankeboken om den lilla igelkotten har blivit en internationell framgångssaga och har sålt över en miljon exemplar i Nederländerna.

The first in the internationally bestselling series of witty, moving and philosophical animal fables for adults.
