Tiger
Jan Jutte
When Josephine returns to town after a walk in the woods, a tiger strolls along with her. For a moment she’s not sure what to do, but then she decides to take him home. And after their initial fright, it’s not just Josephine but the whole town that becomes very fond of Tiger. But however much they all love him, Tiger must return to the place where he belongs. And Josephine will take him there...
Three-time winner of the Golden Brush Award [best illustrator], Jan Jutte applies his characteristic style to paint a passionate picture book, in which the mutual affection between Josephine and Tiger radiates from every page. Everyone would want to have a Tiger like that. But everyone will also understand that real friends let each other live where they are most at home.
