ik heb naar je website gekeken en wat moet het heerlijk zijn om zulke mooie illustraties te kunnen maken :-) Ik vind vooral de postzegels super!
camelsamba on Aug 4, 2009:

Hi Capucine, while waiting for your ATC I requested some of your books from my library - but your ATC arrived before one of the books was available! I did manage to get Come to Tea and the illustrations are so cheerful and whimsical. I'm glad to possess a few little pieces of your work for my very own!
