About the author
Ruth Wielockx never imagined that she would become a writer and illustrator of children's books. She studied Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and Southampton (United Kingdom), and went on to get a degree in education. After years of teaching, Ruth realized that she really liked drawing and painting. She took this new passion and combined it with her love of children's books to begin a very successful career as an author and illustrator.
Summary
"'Officer Pete' by Ruth Wielockx is a fun picture book about a young policeman who is searching for something." - Wayne A McCoy
"A cute and quick little book about Officer Pete losing his police officer's cap and spending the day searching for it, taking every possible way one can search for things. When he's about to give up, he finds it's been at the station all along, as well as a birthday party because he was so busy, he forgot his own birthday! The illustrations were bright and colorful, too.“ - Jennifer - Reviewer

Praise for Wielockx' I WON: "Wielockx's detailed paintings will intrigue mechanically inclined readers while generating a just-competitive-enough sense of fun." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Young readers will love the vast array of vehicles: a jeep, a quad bike (!), a cool bus covered with flower paintings. I love the design of this book: the vibrant illustrations pop off the page, the name of each new vehicle is in bold letters, and each spread has a solid, bright backdrop. Those familiar with my blog know that I love surprise endings, and this title has a great one. How are these pint-sized characters driving fire trucks and planes? All is revealed on a charming, surprising final spread." - MR. BRIAN'S PICTURE BOOK BLOG
"On your mark, get set, go!.... A fun, colorful book, with a lively pace, tone, and, topping it all off, a meaningful message." - School Library Journal
