Vleertje Muis en het Gaapconcert

In short
An original Dutch children’s book about bedtime rituals, birthday excitement, and cosy comfort, made with writer Susanne Roos and publisher Volt.
Vleertje Muis wants to fall asleep… but he just can’t. Tomorrow is his birthday, and he’s far too excited! Luckily, Owl, Toad, Badger, and Fox are ready with their very best falling-asleep advice, whether it actually helps is another story.
Together with writer Susanne Roos and publisher Volt, I created this original read-aloud book. Vleertje Muis en het Gaapconcert explores bedtime rituals, the thrill of anticipation, mosquito cake, presents, and all the soft comforts that make drifting off feel safe: cosy beds, sleepy-time soap, and warm moss milk, everything a little bat might need.

What this project shows
• Warm, character-driven storytelling for read-aloud age.
• Atmosphere-building: cosy worlds, humour, emotional recognition.
• Illustrations that support rhythm, calm, and connection at bedtime.

Available in Dutch bookstores and in my webshop.
