I was born in 1961 in The Netherlands. My entire life, I have loved reading. As a child, I could spend hours thumbing through books, looking at the pictures and hoping I could one day make such beautiful illustrations myself. I studied the images down to the smallest detail and made up my own little stories to go along with them. \u003cp\u003eAfter high school, I took drawing and painting lessons in small galleries in my neighborhood. And I learned a lot from drawing and painting books. But I also mastered many techniques simply by experimenting with them on my own. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen my children were still young, I read them a bedtime story every night. I rediscovered that some picture books are real pieces of art. That's when I got the ambition to make my very own picture books. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was remarked by the jury of the \u003ci\u003eKey Colours International Illustrators Award 2012\u003c\/i\u003e. The book Whose Hat is That? was published by Clavis Publishing and every book I have made since has been even more successful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Clavis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50421466398994,"sku":"9781605372792","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_50fd8e36-74c4-4ac7-956d-e26393105722.jpg?v=1729507315","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/this-way-to-christmas-9781605372792","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
