Gerda My Dutch friend sent
me this card with a picture drawn by Joshua Douglas a Dutch children's
author.

his debut as a poet at the 32nd International Poetry Festival
in 2001. In 2009 he published his picture book The Kiss Crocodile and
other night creatures dear. " Loes Riphagen did
the illustrations. Joshua is the brother of painter Daniel Douglas. He lives and
works in Utrecht.
The Terrible Lifeguard – the picture depicted on the card is
about Lifeguard Brulboei.
Lev takes his father to swim training to Lifeguard Brulboei, the most famous swimming champion ever. Everyone thinksthis idea is. But Lev knows better. Brulboei is the most terrible
lifeguard you can think of. He is rude and mean, he is fierce, rough and cruel. And he has a terrible secret ... Together with his neighbour Lita he plays……. Can they uncover the terrible lifeguard and show who Brulboei
really is?.......................
Interesting!
