Laughing and getting smarter at the same time: what a book! – Pluizer
Mathilda Masters is an explorer. She discovers new continents and countries for a living. That is not easy because most countries have already been discovered. When Matilda is not exploring, she writes about her adventures. And if these adventures aren’t adventurous enough, she just invents new stories. Louize Perdieus studied graphic design/illustration at the Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp. As a freelance illustrator she creates both children’s books and illustrations on demand. Her illustrations are spiced up with humour and appreciated by people of different ages.
