About the author

Max Velthuijs was a celebrated Dutch illustrator, painter, and author best known for his beloved Frog picture book series. Although he began illustrating children’s books relatively late in life, his work quickly gained international acclaim. His first major success came with A is een aapje in 1964, and he achieved global recognition with Frog in Love, published in 1989 by Andersen Press after it was initially rejected in Europe. The Frog series, which eventually included over twenty titles, became known for its gentle, heartfelt storytelling and philosophical depth, earning Velthuijs comparisons to modern-day fables.
Throughout his career, Velthuijs collaborated with prominent publishers and saw his books translated and performed in various media, including theater. In 2004, he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for writing—one of the highest honors in children’s literature—for his enduring contribution to the field. In his acceptance speech, Velthuijs humbly reflected on the emotional complexity of his characters, acknowledging the mystery of creative inspiration. He passed away in his hometown of The Hague in 2005.

Reviews

[Helin Puksand · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jutukogumik konnast ja tema sõpradest. Konnaga juhtuvad igapäevased asjad, nt hakkab ta öösel äkki kolle kartma, ja siis on ikka sõbrad abiks.
Tore on ka raamatu kujundus: igal lehel suur pilt ja veidi teksti selle all. Sobib hästi väikelastele ja lugemist alustavale lapsele.

[M · Rating 3 out of 5]

Üks klassikaline laste lühijuttude kogumik, kus saab õppida sõpruse, hirmude, surma, uhkuse ja palju muu kohta. Mulle meeldib üles ehitus, kus pilt on suurelt üle kahe lehe ja all väikselt on tekst. Pildid on tekstiga täpselt sellises tasakaalus, et laps saaab ka vaid piltide vaatamisest loost täiesti aru. Samas illustratsioonide stiil ei ole jällegi minu maitse.
