MAUD IN SEARCH OF… Amber Moonen The three illustrations are part of the manuscript Maud in search of…, written by Nienke Groenewege. Maud is a girl who, instead of waiting around for something to go her way, goes out to get what she wants. Maud can’t seem to fall asleep no matter how hard she tries. So instead of waiting for Sleep to come and find her, she sets sail to go and find Sleep! She prepares her boat for the journey, and off she goes. During her travels she meets all sorts of beautiful, strange and sometimes grumpy creatures of the sea. Most of them do encounter Sleep once in a while, or Sleep just happens to them. But none of them can tell her with absolute certainty where Sleep is now. It turns out that finding Sleep is an even bigger adventure than she had imagined at first… The illustrations were created using watercolour and pencil on paper.
