Info on the illustrator:
From the day that Aron Dijkstra (1992, Sneek, NL) could hold a pencil, he loved nothing more than inventing stories and bring them to life with drawings. Since then, nothing has changed, except that he graduated for a study of Illustration. In 2016 Aron made his debut as an author and illustrator with his picture book Nick the Knight, which was translated in many countries. His style of drawing is characterized by dynamic perspectives, accessibility and a lot of colors. He has a preference for traditional materials such as ink, pencil and paint. There is no computer involved.
