Boumy
Children’s Book
Illustrations for Boumy, a picture book about friendship, trust and pushing your boundaries. Published by KADE40 and ROSEStories, written by Elma Zijderveld.
Simo's quiet life is turned upside down when Boumy suddenly bursts in, the new neighbours' dog. Boumy asks Simo to come play outside. But a dog and a cat - that doesn't go together, does it?





The book got launched at cultural centre KADE40 in Vlaardingen, in presence of a primary school class who got the first copy from the councilor. Writer Elma read a piece from the book and I got to show and talk about how I drew the character based on the real Boumy (the office dog of KADE40). Boumy also made an appearance by showing his snout.
The book “Boumy” was made for the children of Vlaardingen and goes to the primary schools together with a song and a dance performance. This dance performance was developed by Dconnected Productions and is available for all Vlaardingen primary schools that participate in the Vlaardingse Schatten program.
