Zindzi Zevenbergen

Zindzi Zevenbergen (b. 1990) works as a copywriter for major companies such as DHL, ABN AMRO Bank and Schiphol Airport. Her first children’s book, Lennox en de gouden sikkel (Lennox and the Golden Sickle), has delighted both the press and the public. In January 2022, the book was shortlisted for the biggest children’s book prize in the Dutch-speaking countries: the Boon.

Lennox en de gouden sikkel

(De Harmonie, 2021, 112 pagina's)

Although Zindzi Zevenbergen’s debut is about an invisible illness, the book itself is a real eye-catcher. The striking cover is wrapped around a text with an ingenious and surprising design, with some paragraphs printed at angles or vertically, so that you have to turn the book as you read it.
