Bella Makatini

As a child, Bella Makatini (1980, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands) already liked to write. She asked notebooks for her birthday to fill them with her stories. She continued writing, also during her studies in communication sciences and sociology, and at her job as a project manager in research. With The Big Five, Bella won the international children's story competition of Inclusive Works in the toddlers category.
