Palm Trees at the North Pole

Palm Trees at the North Pole is my non-fiction children’s book about climate change. The book tells the whole story of climate change for children aged 10 and up: history, causes, effects, measures and myths. But all of course in a fun and quirky way, with lots of mammoths, volcanoes and steam engines.

Foreign rights have already been sold to 13 countries. In the Netherlands the book got very good reviews, an honorary mention by the Dutch jury for the Golden Stylus and the Glass Globe for best geographical book for children. It has also won the Silver International Creative Media Award.

Snot, sneezes and super-spreaders

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.

Snot, sneezes and super-spreaders (“Viruswereld”) is a comprehensive book about corona and other viruses. Therefore it will be relevant for years and years to come. It’s a book about scientists, runny noses, superspreaders, guinea pigs, vaccines, conspiracy theories, bats, pangolins and most of all: about humans. World of Viruses tells you all you need to know to understand pandemics and viruses.
