Extra info

Lang zal Eland leven. A picture book for everyone. About friendship, loss and mourning. About gratitude, letting go and trust. About endings and new beginnings.

Eland and Eekhoorn have been together for a long time. But Eland changes, he becomes Eland Somewhere Else. Eekhoorn would rather not know, but deep down he knows anyway. Eland knows it too and together they find a way to let go of each other and they both travel further in their own way.

The words written for Lang zal Eland leven have been around for a while. Just after they were finished and written, my father became seriously ill. And during that time of being ill, I realized that everything I had put into words had always been there. The lessons about life, friendship, being able to share tears, laughter and stories, but above all the gratitude and confidence in letting go.It had already been experienced by my parents and ancestors and I had written it down in my own words without knowing it, to share. Lang zal Eland leven was and is written from my heart and memory. It's all right.

My wish was to make something very beautiful for ever and to share. And I think I succeeded! 🙂 The book was made with great care and attention and would not have been so beautiful without the help of Donata van der Rassel (publisher Aurora Concepts) and Leonie Verbrugge, the illustrator of the many beautiful illustrations in the book and designer of the book. NPN Drukkers printed Lang zal Eland leven into a tangible book and Cathelijne Esser makes sure the book reaches as many people as possible. I hope you're as happy with it as I am!

‘Verwondering, eenvoud, liefde… en dat alles in woorden en beelden gestopt.’ – Maardje

‘Een verhaal over leven en sterven, houden van en afscheid nemen en alles wat daartussenin ligt, of verder.’ –Hanna

‘Reina&Greetje en Leonie Verbrugge schreven een prachtige klassieker!’ – Henrieke

‘Het eerste wat opvalt zijn de levendige illustraties van Leonie Verbrugge. Maar ook het verhaal zit vol verbeeldingskracht, met poëtische teksten die toch begrijpelijk zijn.’ – Ouders van nu

‘Lieve Reina, ik heb net het boek Lang zal Eland leven gelezen. En zit te huilen aan tafel. Wat ben jij een tovenaar met woorden! Prachtig geschreven en de tekeningen zijn schitterend. Wauw!’ – Bianca

‘Ik houd van verhalen die als puzzeltjes nog een tijdje doorwerken in je hoofd. En waar ik alle mooie symboolzinnen wel van op wil schrijven en onthouden. Omdat ze iets toevoegen aan de alledaagse werkelijkheid. Dit verhaal zorgt voor een extra dimensie die uitstijgt boven het tastbare.’ – Esther Ruël Engelman, Mijn gouden traan.
