The sweetest letter from Dinand Woesthoff

After the passing of Guusje Nederhorst, Dinand Woesthoff had two tasks: to take care of their son Dean Maddy and to continue her dream, Woezel & Pip. Even if only one book was sold to himself, the circle would be complete. But the adventures of Woezel & Pip were not sold just once, but 275,000 times. You have to consider that a children's book is usually already a bestseller if 5,000 copies are sold. It didn't stop at one book. There came books, CDs (leave it to Dinand to create the most beautiful songs), a theater show, merchandise, and so on. Lucy, Dinand's second wife, opened her arms to the two loves of Dinand. She became the best mother to Dean and threw herself into the Woezel & Pip business. They held this up for twenty years. But even these children, Woezel & Pip, had to eventually fly out. Therefore, Dinand and Lucy decided, after a long time of letting go, to give the two little dogs, inspired by the dogs DJ and Balou from Guusje, a different owner. Lucy wrote about it in her Letters from Lucy, and Dinand? He said goodbye to these two loved ones via his Instagram. Dinand often touches me, and this time right in the heart.
