AUTHOR BIO
Mies van Hout (1962) studied at the Arts Academy in Groningen,
where she majored in graphic design. She has been working as a
freelance illustrator and graphic designer since 1989. Over the
years, she illustrated quite a lot of children's books. Her
illustrations are cheerful and witty, painted skillfully and
distinctly.
About Friends.
Starred review. Van Hout used wildly expressive fish to illustrate
emotions in 2012's Happy. Twelve pairs of equally exuberant monster
friends do the job in this excellent companion book, each
representing a verb. As in Happy, Van Hout's scribbly, childlike
creations are set against a pure black backdrop, letting his neon
palette shine all the brighter...Van Hout expertly conveys the
emotional peaks and valleys of each friendship...Publishers Weekly
