Shy Elder - about timid empathy

Elder is a very shy rabbit and lives in an abandoned mailbox. Outside there is so much noise from children playing, the trees loom like monsters and the rain patters and patters on her house. Vliertje vindt het veel fijner om binnen te blijven en de hele dag te tekenen. But then a little boy posts an envelope in her mailbox. It is a letter with a very special question. Vliertje doesn't feel brave enough to enter the scary outside world. But then the letter is never delivered and the boy's wish is never fulfilled. Should she try anyway? Will she succeed? A breathtakingly illustrated story about shyness, the power of empathy and friendship.
