# Kamishibai story cards Farmer Boris goes to sea

Discover the story plates from the adventurous 'Farmer Boris goes to the sea', the second part of the hugely popular and award-winning picture book series by Ted van Lieshout and Philip Hopman. With these Farmer Boris story plates, reading aloud to a group of children becomes even more enjoyable and easier. While the children in the classroom look at the large pictures with wonder, the reader can read the text printed on the back of each plate. A handy and interactive way to bring the story to life. 'Farmer Boris goes to the sea' was chosen as Picture Book of the Year in 2015.

'Farmer Boris is on holiday. Farmer Boris goes to the sea. He packs his small suitcase. What does Farmer Boris take with him?' Well, a lot. Too much for his suitcase even. That's why Farmer Boris decides to load up the tractor instead. Now much more can come along! Still not enough? Farmer Boris knows what to do about that. It's going to be a super holiday! The 13 sturdy, loose A3 plates fit into a standard story box (not included), but the storyteller can of course also just hold them themselves.

Since 2012, Ted van Lieshout and Philip Hopman have been tirelessly working on their series of books about Farmer Boris, Sam, Berend, and the farm. The two form a true top duo: Ted received the Theo Thijssen Prize in 2009 and in 2022 Philip Hopman won the Max Velthuijs Prize, each for their awe-inspiring oeuvre. Around Farmer Boris, they have created a clear, cheerful, but above all warm world. Young children will want to look at the drawings on the large story plates again and again - and their parents will enjoy it too.
