But all of course in a fun and quirky way, with lots of mammoths, volcanoes and steam engines.

In May 2021 my children’s book about viruses was published. Of course the wonderful illustrations are made by Wendy Panders, who also illustrated the succesful Palm Trees at the North Pole. All information in the book was checked by Dutch virologist and WHO member Marion Koopmans and her department of Viroscience.
