Born in 1993, Pim Lammers grew up on the Frisian countryside and has been writing ever since he was a child. In his teens he wrote his first ‘real’ story and won the WriteNow! Contest in Amsterdam.
In the meantime Pim has been writing for both adults and children. In 2017 his debut ‘The Lam That Was a Piglet’ (Het lammetje dat een varkentje is) came out. It’s the first Dutch transgender-picture book with illustrations by Milja Praagman. In 2018 Pim received a Silver Slate for this book which made him the youngest Slate-winner in the history of this award. In 2020, the sequel to ‘The Lam That Was a Piglet’ titled ‘The Farmer and the Vet’ received the White Raven Award by the International Youth Library in Munich. For adults Pim has been writing several stories which he publishes in literary magazines and which he recites on literary evenings.
