Liesbet Slegers

Liesbet Slegers is an author and illustrator who introduces young children to everyday routines, occupations, and first experiences through clear images and direct language. Doctors and What They Do opens her work through questions about care, tools, and the people encountered in a clinic. Firefighters and What They Do adds action, teamwork, and specialized equipment. Pilots and What They Do and Ballerinas and What They Do extend the occupational series in different directions, making comparison part of the fun. It's My Birthday turns from jobs to a child's own milestone, while Kevin Goes to School addresses the anticipation attached to a new setting. Readers drawn to role-based nonfiction can pair Doctors and What They Do with Firefighters and What They Do. For a personal route, It's My Birthday followed by Kevin Goes to School shows how Slegers uses recognizable moments to invite conversation between a child and an adult reader.
