An ode to the power of illustration
Of all things imaginable, I like drawing the most. However, a sheet of paper was way too small for me. And in the streets, people would walk over my drawings.
One day – when it is raining so hard that the drawings are washed from the sidewalk – a man walks by. He is Anselmo, an old painter. He offers the young artist shelter in his house. Anselmo comes from a parrot island and makes enchanting paintings. Between Anselmo and the young artist a very special friendship blossoms… until the day Anselmo decides to return to his island.
For a moment, a dream seems to fall apart. But Anselmo has taken care of the young artist’s future! Sanne te Loo made a moving tribute to people who value children.

Quotes from the press
This is Yours won the Dutch Silver Brush Award:
‘The jury considered This Is Yours an ode to fantasy and imagination: learning to draw and – even more – learning to watch. In diverse, sometimes melancholic pictures, new worlds are created. The world of imagination is an oasis in the city.’
