Giant - by Bart Pincé (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

I'm looking for something, but I don't know what it is. Something is making me feel restless. I think it's the giant.

Do you know that feeling? The feeling you have when you can't find something, even though you know it's there? Sometimes, what you're looking for is closer than you think. You just need to close your eyes and open your heart.

About the Author

After years of volunteering in youth work and gaining professional experience in education and the children's book sector, he can easily look at the world through a child's eyes.

Bart prefers to create picture books with a playful tone, to help readers drift off into a dreamlike world.

Ian De Haes was born in Leuven, Belgium in 1983. He now lives in Brussels and has been creating children's books since 2011. After studying computer graphics and illustration, he became a bookseller specializing in children's books. He met Charlotte Bellière, with whom he created his first picture book. Together they have two children who inspire their stories. Ian also works with other authors from time to time and writes some of his own books, always in French. He is no longer a bookseller but now works full-time as an author and illustrator.

Kolos is the first book Ian has illustrated in Dutch (translated into English as Giant). He worked with watercolors and a digital tablet. This mix of traditional and digital techniques can be found in several of his books.
