In dit boekje nemen VSO en Tosca Menten je mee naar het platteland van het prachtige land Nepal. De tweeling Sita en Pico wordt tien jaar, en hun grappige oom Bala is speciaal uit de bergen gekomen om hen een droomcadeau te geven. Daar moeten ze alleen wel het dorp voor uit.
Dutch writer of Children's books. As a child, Tosca wanted to be a doctor and play the piano, but instead she went to the Arts Academy in Amsterdam. She became a teacher of Art and History of Art at a high school in Amsterdam. She remained a teacher for 13 years and started a family. She has 3 children: two girls and one boy.
Then she decided to become a writer. Not surprising, because ever since she was little she has been writing stories. She wanted to publish a book before 2000 and only just succeeded in 1999.
She became a known writer with her books about Dummie the Mummie which have been translated in many languages. Nowadays she tries to write two books a year. Furthermore, she visits many schools and libraries. Now and then she has a theatre show with songs of her own.
