Author Notes: Marloes van Loon (Bergeijk, 1993) graduated from Maastricht Academy of Media Design and Technology in 2016. She studied Visual Communication and majored in illustrations. At the Academy, she made all sorts of different animations and illustrations but her biggest dream was to one day get her own picture book published. Marloes loves working with and for children. Sooner than she expected her dream came true: she entered her final project at school for the Key Colours competition, and her book My Grandma Is a Superhero was nominated. In the summer of 2017 it was published by Clavis Publishing. Marloes lives in Utrecht and works fulltime as a freelance illustrator. She also regularly gives workshops at secondary schools to pass on her love for drawing to children.
