I’ve written & illustrated a book!

‘How a cow catches a hare’ is a short story collection inviting you to be more curious about both the world inside yourself and the one around you.

So, what is the book about?

This collection is an ode to letting your thoughts wander. To think of the possibilities without the need to have an answer or opinion or judgement. What life would look like if this or that would be possible, or if something wasn’t possible anymore. What has moved someone you don’t get to certain actions? How would the minds of others possibly work? About questioning without the need for a direct result. About making space for marvelling. Because in the end, you never know how a cow catches a hare: a Dutch saying about trusting in the possibilities even though you don’t know how things will turn out.

So for example there’s a story about a cold blooded human, about bubbles being a door to slumberland, someone climbs the moon, someone can travel through memories by smashing walls and someone ends up in a fight with their own shadow.

With so many opinions, answers, video’s saying “you didn’t know these three things” or “this is what you are doing wrong if you want this or that” and the general chaos of the overwhelming amount of stimuli every day, this book is an invitation to not know things (yet). To ponder about things and use your imagination, follow the twists and turns of your own thoughts and think about things without forming an opinion or judgement. You can always do that later, no rush needed. And next to that I hope that readers of these stories will have as many laughs about them as I did while writing it.
