With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home, Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch. <p/> It's easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker, skating on the ice, between the scenes of Avercamp, Bruegel and Bosch - and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth. <p/> Also Available: <i>Holland</i> and <i>1000 Things About Holland </i>set (picture book hardcover with accompanying paperback) $29.95.<i>1000 Things About Holland</i> explains all the details of every amazing picture, making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips, windmills and so much more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Reviews for The Yellow Balloon: <br>an absorbing odyssey.<br>-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)<br>Stories develop in a dozen pleasingly complex, thematic aerial views.
