Here is the new weekend read! It is about illustrators of children's books, a topic I feel very passionate about and brings back a lot of good memories. I hope you enjoy reading it. Some other news is that I will be moving back to Amsterdam to visit my family and friends (of course I will take Bloesem with me...)...before moving to Kuala Lumpur in June with my husband and son... so Bloesem goes far east... I am very excited about this new adventure and hope to show you some great Asian finds on Bloesem in the future! I will leave for Amsterdam today and will be traveling until Tuesday. I will be back on Wednesday, so I hope the weekend read will keep you busy until then! Have great weekend and see you soon.

Thanks for all the info on the children's books! It was really interesting! I love Dick Bruna (there is a Miffy exhibit in Edinburgh at the moment that I really have to go and see!) and it's funny but I have a copy of the Winterboek postcard that you feature!! I just love buying books for my friend's childrens and some of the modern books are sure to turn into classics! For example Meg and Mog, Charlie & Lola not just because of their great words but perhaps more so because of their fabulous illustrations!
thank you again for the "weekend read"

Hi Irene!!
So sad that Toronto is losing you! It was comforting knowing I had a kindred spirit in the city. I wish you the absolute best! Travel safe!
