Hamayun solo tiene once años cuando su familia, acosada por la tiranía y el fanatismo de los talibanes, se ve obligada a huir de Afganistán. Atrás quedan su mejor amigo, sus dos abuelas y un hermano demasiado pequeño para afrontar el peligroso e incierto viaje hacia Europa en manos de un oscuro grupo de traficantes de personas. Este es el drama de una infancia partida en dos, una historia real de supervivencia y lucha por la dignidad humana. Una mirada descarnada y enternecedora a la realidad de los refugiados en Europa, el choque cultural y la desorientación en un entorno extraño. Un relato en clave cinematográfica cuyo final no depende del protagonista ni de su familia. Esta novela es un homenaje al valor de la amistad, el amor, la familia y la libertad.

Little Fox is the result of a real urge to experiment, the power of language, a love of life, and an outstanding collaboration between illustrator Marije Tolman and author Edward van de Vendel. The central figure in this harmonious picture story is a fox cub who wants nothing more than to discover life, but then takes a tumble and finds himself in a dream that is actually a near-death experience. 'Curiosity will be the death of you,' as Little Fox has learned from Father Fox. But is that really true? After all, if you don't go out to explore, you don't get to know life and what it's all about - that is the inspiring message of this colorful story.

Auf einmal steht er da, mitten im Sommer. Ein schneeweißer Hund. Ein Gespensterhund, meint Kix, denn genau so schnell wie er aufgetaucht ist, ist er auch verschwunden. Aber der Hund kommt wieder. „Er heißt Sam“, sagt seine Schwester Emilia, und Kix und ihr ist klar: Sie wollen Sam behalten. Aber so einfach ist das nicht, denn eigentlich gehört Sam den mürrischen Nachbarn, und die wollen ihn nicht hergeben. Und obwohl Sam offenbar bei Kix, Emilia und ihrer Familie bleiben will, holen ihn seine alten Besitzer eines Nachts zurück. Also schleicht Kix sich im Schlafanzug und in Pantoffeln hinterher. Aber da steht jemand in der Dunkelheit und beobachtet ihn … Ein wunderbar warmherziges Buch von Edward van de Vendel. Überzeugend gelingt es ihm, aus der Perspektive eines Neunjährigen und mit all dessen Aufrichtigkeit und Begeisterung von diesem Märchenhund zu erzählen.
