Didier Strijdonk is a Dutch author who enjoyed writing poems in high school, which is also when he first tried writing a novel. He later wrote a full-length unpublished novel that proved to be good practice. Soon after he met his wife, he started writing short stories for her. And about half a year later, he finished the collection of animal short stories along with black-and-white drawings, which he later colored in digitally.

These animal short stories turned into a children's book with a foreword from the animals and the author, as well as a summary of all the valuable lessons that could be learned from the stories. What better way to publish a first book than publishing one written for his wife?

Didier also writes blogs; both creative and non-fiction. He also has a writer's Facebook page and a Facebook page for his first children's book titled "Animal Short Stories for the Heart and Mind".
