For example, Gerda Dendooven tells a story about difficult themes such as a children’s desire, loss and letting go. She makes it negotiable for children in the fairy tale.
In ‘Where is Winter’, Gerda Dendooven does not use a word too much to write a rich story, full of emotion and humor. She plays with perspectives in her illustrations, where her simple and robust characters – Pip and Mika always dressed in striking pink and yellow – contrast with the white of the snow and of the cheerful winter.
Gerda Dendooven makes illustrations for books and magazines and gives Les Illustration to Sint-Lucas in Ghent. She has already won a lot of literary prizes, including the Beekepauw, De Gouden Owl, the Silver Granger and the Prize of the Flemish Community for Youth Literature.
