My first book was in Dutch entitled Ollie, Assie en Pelie – een modern sprookje over vriendschap. (A modern fairy tale about friendship)
In 2006 I published the book in Papiamento Ollie, Assie y Pelie un storia moderno tocante amistad for sales on the Aruban market. In that same year I published Bullie op kantoor – De belevenissen van een Franse Buldog. (Bullie at the office – The adventures of a French Buldog).
In 2007 I published my first book in the Papiamentu language Oli, Asi i Peli un kuenta modèrnu di amistat for the markets in Curaçao and Bonaire.
In 2008 I was invited to attend a children’s book week fair event in Aruba. For that occasion I published a volume of poems in Dutch, Papiamento, Papiamentu and English, written by poets from the Netherlands, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles. The book is entitled:
Kinderen van het Heelal – Mucha di Universo – Children of the Universe.

An updated e-book of the same title was published in 2017.
