Van Genechten uses only three colors: red, white and black, and gives ladybugs different emotions in a few brushstrokes. Through the design, illustrations and language jokes together, Van Genechten manages to create a genuine Olympic atmosphere that exudes all pleasure. - Brugge Library From internationally bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Guido Van Genechten!
