Ottie se pa is 'n sjef by die Koperlyster Hotel. Hy word baie min
betaal en omdat hy nie die regte papiere het nie, kan hy nie sommer
net 'n ander werk gaan soek nie. Wanneer die nare hoteleienaar hom
ontslaan, moet Ottie en haar pa in hul bussie rondtrek en vir hom
'n nuwe werk soek, maar eers gaan kampeer hulle uit in die
parkeerterrein voor die "rekenaargebou" waar hy sy papiere moet
kry… Ottie verstaan nie veel hiervan nie en hul dierevriendjies ook
nie. Wanneer die polisieman hulle kom wegjaag, vlieg Kwark, die
kraai, voor die bussie uit om vir hulle 'n rustige kampeerplek uit
te wys. Intussen raak die twee muise in Ottie se mandjie, wat van
die hotel af saamgekom het om "Die wye wereld" te sien, onrustig
omdat hulle nog nie in Muistopia, oftewel Muisparadys, is nie.

An award-winning picture book about resilience, self-esteem, and
the power of talking about emotions Lili Macaroni loves drawing
butterflies, counting the stars, and being exactly who she is-Lili
Macaroni. That is, until she starts kindergarten. There her
classmates tell her that her hair is like a pumpkin, her eyes are
squinty blueberries, and her laugh is like a parrot's squawk. She
has never felt such unhappiness before. It makes her want to erase
herself and draw a brand-new Lili. Then she reconsiders. Does she
really want to erase her hair that's just like Mom's? Her eyes just
like Grandma's? Her Grandpa's infectious laugh? With her parents'
help, she creates a polka-dotted butterfly to wear at her collar,
publicly announcing her own resilience and symbolically letting her
sorrows be flown away. And when she explains the butterfly to her
classmates, Lili discovers she has begun a powerful conversation,
and that everyone has some trouble to be carried away on butterfly
wings. In this accessible exploration of emotions and self-esteem,
Nicole Testa and Annie Boulanger create a relatable heroine with
inborn ingenuity and warm family support.
