The Greatest Journey Ever (3+)

In Loes Riphagen's picture book "The Greatest Journey Ever," the tiniest creatures take you on an unforgettable adventure. On an ordinary day, the rock where all the insects are happily living together is suddenly lifted. Now they've lost their home! Worm tells him he has a cousin with a beautiful, large rock where they can live, but to do so, they'll have to make the greatest journey ever. So, Moth, Earwig, Worm, Woodlouse, Weevil, and the rest embark on an adventure together (although Snail suddenly slides off in the opposite direction).

Their long, thrilling journey takes them over a high mountain, through a wild, raging river, and straight through the perilous Black Grass Blades Forest. They bravely face enormous obstacles and a striped enemy. Just when the journey feels at its most arduous, Earwig suddenly reappears. Because what seems like a trivial journey for one person is a grand adventure for another.

Loes Riphagen creates a unique and enchanting world with her illustrations, demonstrating why she is one of the Netherlands' most popular picture book creators. With "Coco Can Do It!" (over 360,000 copies sold) and "The Gnome Book" (awarded a Silver Brush), Loes Riphagen already demonstrated that small creatures are her specialty. In her new picture book, "The Biggest Journey Ever," she transports readers to an enchanting new picture book world, the kind only she can create. Suitable for children ages 3 and up.
