On the edge of the village, Sophie lives in a small house with her cow and her hens. Days pass slowly, marked by the simple routines of village life: fetching water, tending the animals, moving through familiar paths. Yet behind the quiet surface, traces of another life remain—a life of circus tents, horses, and performances. Friso Henstra’s illustrations capture the blend of past and present, showing Sophie’s world where everyday life carries echoes of the extraordinary.
