Philippe Goossens was born in Brussels, Belgium. He loved reading the Tintin adventure books as a child. With his passion for drawing, it came as no surprise that he decided to take illustration classes at the Saint Luc Institute in Brussels. After receiving his degree, he tried his hand at everything that has to do with drawing and graphics (advertisements, animated movies . . .), but soon he realized that he wanted to use his talents for picture books. The many books he has illustrated have been making children smile ever since.
