Later, when I’m Grown Up Bette Westera, illustrations Mattias De Leeuw
Shortlisted for the BOON AWARD for youth literature
A journey of discovery, full of imagination An adventurous picture book, yet at the same time recognisable The illustrations by award-winner Mattias De Leeuw are a delight to the eye Mother and child go to the swimming pool... Or is it a tropical forest? Dive into the imaginative world of children and join in in their wildest dreams. Later, when I’m all grown up, I will be courageous enough to try and dare to do many things. Wandering through infinitely long underground passages. Catching tarantulas in a tropical rainforest. Hanging from a trapeze under loud drumroll, wearing tinsel clothes, using no hands. So, later, when I'm grown up, but not just yet.
