Rules of Three (De regels van drie) is the 2022 choice for Nederland Leest Junior, a national campaign which aims to have a particular book or theme discussed by large groups of readers. This year's theme is Growing old, staying young. It means nearly a hundred thousand copies of Rules of Three will reach 8-14 year-olds.
In the adult category a book by Yvonne Keuls was selected: Mevrouw mijn moeder.
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its children's literature fund Querido publishers have published a huge treasury of stories, poems and illustrations. My story Dingendag is to be found there (illustrated by Judith ten Bosch), besides an excerpt from Against the Odds (Een kleine kans).
What a marvellous book it has turned out to be!
