Suzan Boshouwers (the Netherlands) got her degree in illustration in 1993 from the Academy of Visual Arts in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, after which she enjoyed a writing course. She writes commissioned educational texts and published several picture books, some of which she illustrated too. With her husband and her son she lives in Vught. Her son is her big source of inspiration: if she couldn’t follow his inquisitive view of the world, she wouldn’t be able to write books.

Dutch author-illustrator Margot Senden describes herself as a chaotic, creative mother of two beautiful girls. She is passionate about astronomy, music, art, and children’s books. After majoring in illustration and graphic design, she has been working as a graphic designer and a freelance illustrator.
