Marleen Lammers is a freelance writer with a passion for children’s stories. While she’s originally from the Netherlands, she spent most of the past decade-and-a-bit living in various countries in Southern Africa, mostly working in the nonprofit sector. She published her first picture book with Penguin Random House in 2019, and caught the children’s literature bug. She’s hoping to keep engaging kids through fun stories, and making them love books in the process.
