There is a country where people almost never speak. In this strange country you have to buy words and swallow them before you can pronounce them. Little Daniel needs words to tell a girl what’s going on in his heart. But how must he do it? To say everything he wants to say to Hanli, will cost a fortune... Die land van die groot woordfabriek has appeared in several different languages, including Chinese, German, English, French, Catalan, Korean, Dutch, Slovenian and Spanish. The Dutch version won the Vlag en Wimpel from the Griffeljury in 2010.

Daar is 'n land waar die mense amper nooit praat nie. In hierdie vreemde land moet jy woorde koop en hulle insluk om hulle te kan uitspreek. Klein Floris het woorde nodig om sy hart vir die pragtige Susanna oop te maak. Maar hoe moet hy dit doen? Want om alles vir Susanna te se wat hy graag vir haar wil se, sal 'n fortuin kos.
