Chill
VOLT!
Chill is a book about emotions with stories, tips and facts to help children understand what they feel.
Chill is a collaboration between Milouska Meulens, Meike Meinhardt and Maruga Koops. Published in May 2026 by Volt publishers.
For this project, Maruga worked mainly with colored pencils, combined with textured backgrounds she created using a Gelli-printing plate. After drawing and coloring, she edited the illustrations digitally.
This mixed technique gives the illustrations a handmade, tactile quality that fits the warmth of the subject. Available in bookstores and online
