OLLIPOPPIES are the sweet little characters Sara, Flip, Woepi and Kai and their animal friends Ollie the pig, Kiko the frog, Mobi the cat and Bobbi the bear. Sara and Flip are brother and sister, Woepi is Sara’s best friend and Kai is Flip’s best friend. They often play together and experience small adventures and daily things.

OLLIPOPPIES are characterized by their bright sleek design and cheerful colors. Because of their big head and small bodies they have a high cuteness factor for children but also for adults.

There are four cheerful clean designed dutch picture books for small children in the age of 0 to 4 years. They can see and discover a lot on the colorful illustrations. With short texts, the story-telling takes children to a world that stimulates their imagination and is also safe close to home.

The books are titled; De Ollipoppies (The Ollipoppies), Sara is jarig! (it’s Sara’s birthday!), Het is lente! (it’s springtime!) en Naar het strand (To the beach). The books are for sale in the OLLIPOPPIESHOP  https://www.etsy.com/shop/OLLIPOPPIESHOP

Hi! My name is Claudia Coppen, graduated from the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design in 1995 and have ever since worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. Lived and worked for many years in Amsterdam but eventually went back to my roots, the beautiful Limburg.

I mainly illustrate in my spare time besides my work as a graphic designer and so in 2001 I made the first sketches for the Ollipoppies. Only when my daughter Sara was born in 2009 I finally decided to breathe life into these little characters and illustrated the first book especially for her. The little book turned out so nice, I actually thought that every little kid should be given the opportunity to get to know the Ollipoppies. The other 3 books soon followed and so is how the story of OLLIPOPPIES began…
