Performance Coco can do it

Today I'm going to fly!
All little birds can fly, says mamma.
So I can too. I think.
But what if I can't?

Yes what can happen, up in the blue sky, where you can fly with your friends and catch tasty flies? Or down in the depths, where you can fall really hard, and where the kitty sneaks around... Coco is making all that up as she stands on the branch, ready to fly for the first time.

And what Coco comes up with, and whether she can really fly.... You can see all this in this cheerful musical performance-with-puppets, in which Coco and her friends from the book are brought to life in the hands of Jogchem Jalink, puppeteer of Sesame Street and the Butterwich Show, among others!

Reading market and colouring

After the performance, children will get to work themselves and enjoy colouring. Meanwhile, our colleagues at the BoekStart information stand are ready for parents with practical reading tips & tricks and inspiration to enjoy books together at home.

Boekstart is a programme that promotes reading with children aged 0-4 and lets parents with young children enjoy books together.
