It's a beautiful spring day, and Mole has just finished a brisk walk. He's resting for a moment at the edge of the babbling brook, his feet dangling delightfully in the cool water. When he takes out his thermos of hot soup, the baby kingfishers come to watch curiously what Mole is up to. He offers them a taste, but they're having none of it. They'll rather wait until their father catches another tasty fish for them!
This is an illustration from my children's book “De mol is dol op oliebol" (The Mole Loves Oliebol), created in Procreate on the iPad. In the book, Mole encounters all sorts of animals, and in each story he eats something delicious. This way, children learn about nature and can try to make the soup that Mole eats in this story.
A colourful illustration, perfect for a child's room or classroom.
