Mohana van den Kroonenberg

Mohana van den Kroonenberg (1967) made her debut as a children’s writer in 2022. Dodo was an instant hit with readers and the media, with Het Parool writing: “Van den Kroonenberg has made an almighty debut in children’s literature.” Dodo was followed by more children’s books and story collections. Her book Peer, aimed at young readers, is about a boy who meets a gnome. (With illustrations by Karst-Janneke Rogaar).
