Watch a PT! 2022 winner

One of the winners of Picture This! was Sacha Heemels. Publishing House Lemniscaat saw her potential and gave her the opportunity to work on her first picture book. That resulted in De maan is overal dezelfde and was shortly followed by her second picture book, Het knuffeltalent. Lemniscaat made a short documentary about the process. She gives some great advice for everyone who would like to join the competition!
