Sanne Rooseboom

Sanne Rooseboom (1979) is a Dutch children’s author. Children know her as a writer who invented the Ministry of Solutions. Rooseboom has already written six books about the activities of this institution, three of which can also be read in Estonian. This allows Rooseboom to offer children both adventurous and socially sensitive stories. The series is kicked off by ‘Ministry of Solutions’ (Het Ministerie van Oplossingen), originally published in 2016, where one of the main characters, an 11-year-old vigorous girl named Nina, decides to search for this institution to help her friend Ruuben, who is being bullied at school. In the book ‘The Ministry of Solutions and the Missing Van Gogh’ (Het Ministerie van Oplossingen en de verdwenen Van Gogh), Niina, Ruuben and their other friends are already working for the Ministry of Solutions, which is why they are helping a family in Rotterdam to search for a lost drawing by the famous artist. In the third book in the series, The Ministry of Solutions and the House Full of Treasures (Het Ministerie van Oplossingen en het te volle huis), the plot is set off by notes of inventions found in a house that needs to be emptied, which, of course, need the officials of the Ministry of Solutions to protect them.
