Hoppebolden

by Søren Jessen

Udenfor lejren står de og råber ad os, vifter med skilte og kaster med sten. Inde i lejren er der børn og voksne, der græder og kaster med stole. Heldigvis har jeg mit eget særlige sted omme bag lejren, helt op ad hegnet. Der har jeg mødt en dreng med hvidt hår og blå øjne. Han kaster ikke med sten. Han plukker blomster og giver karameller i rødt papir. Vi kan ikke tale sammen, men vi forstår hinanden.

En gennemillustreret bog om det, vi har tilfælles, og det, der skiller os ad.
