Children’s Hour – Marjoke Henrichs
August 18 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am BST
“I was born in The Netherlands, but have lived and worked in the UK as an Artist and Theatre Designer for many years.
In 1995 I took part in the UK theatre design entry at the Prague Quadrennial which won the Gold Medal. Recently, I designed the set for ‘Little Red Riding Hood’: a children’s show for Northern Ballet and ‘Booming Voices’ for Eastern Angles.
I paint semi abstract landscapes inspired by my immediate surroundings, marshes, the river, ditches and arable fields, the sounds of the water birds and Suffolk’s big skies.
After my two children had grown up, I studied an MA in children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art and graduated in February 2019 with a distinction.
My debut picture book ‘No Said Rabbit’ published by Scallywag Press, was shortlisted for the Book Trust Storytime prize 2021. And long listed for the Klaus Flugge Prize It is currently translated into 14 languages. ‘Ready! Said Rabbit’ was published in February 2022, available in 8 countries.
My next book ‘Detective Catz and the Missing Nut’ will be published the 4th April by Scallywag Press.
In this book, my cat was my main inspiration!”
