Joni Kroese Bosch (the Netherlands, 1999) is first and foremost a huge book lover. Ever since she was a child, she has enjoyed sticking her nose in a good book. Apart from that, she’s a teacher in primary education and designs teaching materials for young children with her own company. Joni’s goal is to enrich children’s worlds by offering them appropriate books and to increase their enjoyment of reading. That’s why she pays a lot of attention to the importance of children’s books and reading promotion in her classroom.

Aiko Graven is a Dutch freelance illustrator. She graduated as a 2D animator and graphic designer. Children’s books have brought her to where she is today. Thanks to many pictures and stories, Aiko became inspired to find her own path in the creative world. It’s a dream come true for her to be able to illustrate children’s books herself and pass the magic on to children through her illustrations.
