This Is Yours - Hardcover

Of all things imaginable, I liked drawing the most. However, a sheet of paper was way too small for me. And in the streets, people would walk over my drawings.

One day –when it is raining so hard that the drawings are washed from the sidewalk –a man walks by. He is Anselmo, an old painter. He offers the young artist shelter in his house. Anselmo comes from a parrot island and makes enchanting paintings. Between Anselmo and the young artist a very special friendship blossoms... until the day Anselmo decides to return to his island. For a moment, a dream seems to fall apart. But Anselmo has taken care of the young artist’s future! Sanne te Loo has made a moving tribute to people who value children.

Sanne te Loo (1972) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Breda, and has been working as an illustrator since graduation. She is known for her dreamy illustrations as featured in her own picture book, Pearl's Mermaid Shoes. www.sanneteloo.nl
