We won the Woutertje Pieterseprijs!

On April 10, Ludwig Volbeda and I received the Woutertje Pieterse Prize 2021 for ‘Whole Stories for a Half Soldier’. It happened in the radio program ‘de Taalstaat’ by Frits Spits. Jury chairman Abdelkader Benali presented us with the prize. Afterwards we drank fake wine, outside in the parking lot of the NPO. Of course it was still very hard corona time. Dik Zweekhorst and Wendy Wilbers from Querido publishers also provided a festive cake. And despite the fact that the weather was a bit drizzly, we were still pleasantly warm. Afterwards I drove back to Rotterdam on my own. The backseat was filled with the life-size check, I heard us win on the radio news and thought: Sometimes life takes a wonderful turn.

celebration on a fairytale castle

Six years ago I was invited by the Internationaler Jugendbibliothek in Munich for the White Ravens Festival. One week I visited schools en libraries. It became a memorable time. Not only because of the inspirationale encounters with young readers, but also because I met many international acclaimed authors like Jenny Valentine and Anne-Laure Bondoux. To top it all I also met Anna Becchi for the first time, who became my sublime Italian translator and ‘literairy bulldozer’. With her I travelled allready twice through Italy for meetings with readers.

The IJB celebrates its 70th (!) birthday on the 20th of september on its residence, the magnificent Schloss Blutenburg. They invited me to do a musical performance for young children. I am looking very much forward to it.
