In Flanders the book was awarded the Boekenpauw and Boekenwelp awards. The English translation of the book '' Hello, Sailor'' was published in 2003. The book caused controversy in England as it was argued that its inclusion in school curricula effectively forced schools to include books with homosexual characters.

In 2009, she received a Boekenpluim award for illustrating the book ''Morgen was het feest'', also written by Toon Tellegen.
