ABN AMRO

October 2025

In the Netherlands not every kid has the same chance to join in with sports, arts or culture. Sometimes all it takes is just a little step to get started. Ik Begin is full of 15 personal first-step stories that show how even the smallest start can grow into something bigger. The book is available in four languages and also comes with Dutch audio. You can read or listen to it online for free, and schools can order copies during Kinderboekenweek.

Proud my illustrations are part of this adventure, together with ABN AMRO, Team Hagens PR, Jeugdfonds Sport en Cultuur, author Malou De Roy van Zuydewijn and design Martijn van der Riet.
