Author Biography

Marja Baeten is a jack-of-many-trades. She started her career at Malmberg Publishing as an editor of the educative magazines Okki and Taptoe. As a freelance copywriter she worked for, among other things, the popular Dutch TV programs Sesame Street and Klokhuis; she wrote short stories that later became picture books, and she wrote various teaching methods for primary education. From 2000 Marja became an editor of the children's magazines PIPPO and POMPOEN, and in 2005 she started developing a toddler magazine for the World Wildlife Fund called PipaPanda. The content of this magazine later became the source of inspiration for a series of compilations about wild animals.Annelies Vandenbosch likes to make illustrations with a positive and humorous note so that readers can escape to another world for a short while. Where everyone can feel good and where you feel happy. So that the reader can spread this cheerfulness in his environment. When she is not drawing you can find her in an uncomfortable yoga pose, during a relaxing walk in her cozy village, enjoying a nice carbohydrate meal (spaghetti bolo for the win), or making nice memories with family and friends.
