I just discovered two nice Australian book reviews about Feeling Sad:
>> Picture books can be very helpful for young children dealing with big issues, such as in Feeling sad by Sarah Verroken. Duck is feeling sad. "Black clouds are hanging over her head, and her worlds seems full of darkness. But Duck soon hatches a plan to bring back colour." A simple and effective use of black and white pictures which gradually introduce colour graphically describes the feeling of depression/sadness, and how it can lift.

>> Blessed with a beauty that nurtures its readership, Feeling Sad explores the depths of an emotion touching lives across human-kind. Sarah Verroken, author / Illustrator of the picture-book identifies sorrow in character and theme - moving her readership through a journey that not only speaks of healing colour, but of changing perspective. . . . Verroken’s approach is appropriately directed to her audience - making the book a gift to those seeking sunnier days and happier hearts. (by Jacqueline Perryman)

About me
In 2006 I graduated as a Master in Visual Arts, option Illustration. In my last year of study I wrote and illustrated a picture book about a sad little duck. The book won the Illustrator's award City of Hasselt 2006 and was published in 2007. It has been nominated for the 'Boekenpauw 2008' which is the annual award for the best illustrated Belgian picture book and it won the Plantin Moretus Award 2008 for best designed picture book. The rights have already been sold to several countries including New Zealand, Australia, South-Korea, Japan, Canada and America.
After having lived in Wellington (New Zealand) for years, I now work from my little farm in Ghoy (french speaking part of Belgium) as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for clients and publishers all over the world. I love illustrating for children but also like adult audiences. As you can see on this blog, my drawings vary from handmade (woodcut, paint, ink...) over computer techniques and everything in between.
