Informazioni sugli autori

Mack van Gageldonk is an author, graphic designer, and illustrator from the Netherlands.

Mack is a regular illustrator at the Royal Zoo of Rotterdam and is the author of several children’s books, in which animals often are the lead characters.

Mack (1960, the Netherlands) is a graphic designer and illustrator from The Netherlands. He was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. During his education he made funny and educational cartoons about, among others, penguins and whales. These cartoons were later bought by the ‘Diergaarde Blijdorp’-zoo in Rotterdam. By now Mack is a regular illustrator at this animal park and he is the author of several children’s books, in which animals often are the lead characters.

Mack has a primitive way of drawing. He gets inspired by African art and the paintings of the Australian aboriginals. Both create an immense power by simplifying shapes. Mack wants to combine that powerful simplification with a subtle sense of humour.

“In my books I try to teach children something in a funny way,” Mack says. “If I draw a penguin, it doesn’t matter to me that much how pretty he is or how good of an swimmer he is. What I want to show the most is how baggy he stands on the ice and how funny his walk is. That funny bagginess is what I try to catch in a couple of lines. Only when children can laugh about it, I think to myself: ‘Yes, I did it’.”

WIND AND RAIN
CALM
When you're quiet, you can hear the sounds of nature. Can you hear the leaves rustling? That's the wind. Sometimes the wind blows really hard, sometimes it blows very softly, and every now and then it's so calm that you don't hear a thing. Branches stop moving, and there are no ripples in the water. When there isn't a breath of wind, lakes look as smooth as mirrors.

STORM
When the wind is so strong that you can hardly stay on your feet, you are in the middle of a storm. A storm usually announces itself well in advance. First the sky gets really dark, and then the rain starts to pour down. The wind gets stronger, too. Umbrellas and branches fly around. Pretty dangerous! When there is a storm, it's best to stay inside.
