Jet Boeke

Jet Boeke (b. 1948) is a Dutch children's author and illustrator. She is a contributor to Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street. She is also famous worldwide for her book series Dikkie Dik.
The Dikkie Dik stories have been featured on Sesamstraat since March 8, 1978. The stories are plotted prior to drawing the sketches, so the pictures explain the story themselves.
Arthur van Norden, another Sesamstraat writer, supplied the text to the stories. Uitgeverij Gottmer in Haarlem has been her longstanding publisher, and Dikkie Dik has also been featured in toys and puzzles.
In a December 2001 episode, Boeke visited Sesamstraat and read one of her stories.
