Een Ongelofelijk Grote, Ongelofelijk Gevaarlijke Leguaan

Een ongelofelijk grote, ongelofelijk gevaarlijke leguaan is a funny, imaginative and touching picture book by Pim Lammers. When a boy has to bring a family photo to school, he decides to do things differently. Instead of his own family, which he finds super boring, he draws a family full of imagination: three dads, two moms, twelve brothers and sisters and a whole lot of pets. And the absolute highlight: an incredibly big and incredibly dangerous iguana.

The story playfully shows how rich and creative a child's imagination can be, and invites you to look at what a family is in a new way. After all, who decides what a ‘normal’ family looks like? With humor and warmth, this book shines a light on different kinds of families and sparks conversations about identity, imagination and being allowed to be yourself.

The surprising illustrations by Natascha Stenvert bring the story to life and make this book a joy to read aloud and to look at together. It's no coincidence that the book won the Gouden Penseel and the Zilveren Griffel 2025.

A beautiful picture book for home, school and childcare.
