Maranke Rinck and Martijn van der Linden

Bob Popcorn

Ellis has two dads – and that’s not an issue. It’s simply a fact.

Ellis has two dads, and she loves popcorn. One day, when she puts some popcorn kernels in the microwave, two little arms and two little legs come popping out of one of them. Ellis never knew pieces of popcorn could look so angry, but this one does. He introduces himself as Bob Popcorn.

With their successful series about Bob Popcorn, Maranke Rinck and illustrator Martijn van der Linden have created an irresistible character who turns Ellis’s life upside down with his unpredictable moods.
