Translation: Siem Boone and Jill Lagast Keywords: love – fiction, discrimination – fiction, gay – fiction Jasper spends the night at auntie Ten’s. Ten makes Jasper some soup. He sneezes and suddenly a snout is coming out of his nose! That is his snoozefoxie. A snoozefoxie makes sure you can fall in love. The book contains many elements which children enjoy: some shud­dering (brrr, there’s a furry snout coming out of your nose) and comforting (everybody has it and it looks nice and funny). Differences become normal and falling in love thankfully happens to everybody. You only need to find a snoozefoxie that likes yours. It happens just like that, there’s no choice to be made. Being in love is fun, that much is clear, no matter who you fell in love with. A book in which you feel the author’s creativity right from the start, not only focused on the subject of glbt-sexuality, but on the general discovery that you learn to appreciate things as you learn to under­stand them. A respectful journey through tolerance-land. Snoozefoxie was originally published in Dutch. The story was extensively documented with a ready-to-go teaching package written by Frederik De Schepper with an introduction by the Dutch bio-psychologist Dr. Martine Delfos.
