🐻📚 Some stories are waiting to be discovered…
For years, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stories, legends and hidden corners of Bruges with visitors from all over the world.
But today, I’m introducing someone who will tell those stories in a completely different way.
Meet Charlie. 🧭
A curious little bear with a burgundy beanie, a green backpack, and a rather unusual compass.
Because Charlie’s compass doesn’t point north.
It points to stories.
And now, after countless hours of writing, creating, illustrating and perfecting every little detail, I’m incredibly happy to announce that my very first children’s picture book has officially been published!
📖 Charlie en de vergeten b**r
(Charlie and the Forgotten Bear)
A fully illustrated, 40-page adventure through the magical streets of Bruges, where history meets imagination and even the smallest discoveries can lead to wonderful stories.
The Dutch edition is now available on Amazon, with an English edition already in the works!
This project is particularly close to my heart. It’s a story created for little explorers, curious minds, and everyone who believes there’s always something new to discover.
Because sometimes, the most beautiful stories are hiding right in front of us. ❤️
🐻 Welcome to the world, Charlie.
📚 Available on Amazon — link in bio.
Every corner has a story.
