SOFIE IN ISRAEL

It came out just now: the Hebrew version of our book SOFIE AND THE PENGUINS (SOFIE EN DE PINGUÏNS). This is my first book in Israël and I'm happy that Rimonim Publishing noticed the book. Thanks! Also a big thank you to Irit Golan, who translated the book.

SOFIE AND THE PENGUINS is illustrated by Floor de Goede and contains photocomics by Ype+Willem. The book originally was published by Querido, Amsterdam. The book is the first of a series of books that contain a story, illustrations, comics ánd non-fiction elements.

The rights to this book were also sold to Italy (Il Castoro) and Estonia (Päike ja Pilv). It got children's jury prizes both in Holland and in Belgium.

SOFIE TRAVELS TO ISRAEL

There are four books in the series I make with illustrator and comic artist Floor de Goede and photo-comic-makers Ype+Willem - all of these four books are about little Sofie, who is extremely fond of animals and in particular about penguins.
After SOFIE AND THE PENGUINS (2010), there was SOFIE AND THE FLYING BOY (2012), SOFIE AND THE LITTLE POLAR BEAR (2013) and SOFIE AND THE DOLPHINS (2014). Next year we will publish a fifth book. All books (for kids aged 6-10) are issued by publishing house Querido, Amsterdam.

This year the first SOFIE-book came out in Italy (Il Castoro, SOFIA E I PINGUINI). The rights were also sold to Estonia (for all four of the books, Päike ja Pilv) and we just got to know that Sofie will travel to Israel! Publishing house Rimomim bought the rights. We are extremely happy because of this fact. Thanks, Rimomim!

For possible other countries: don't forget you can apply for a grant for the translation of these books!
