It is unbelievable that a country like Holland still has quite a lot of teenagers leaving school without being able to read or write (and they are not the dyslectic ones). I hope their number will decrease soon.

Her husband, the Prince Constantijn and Princess Irene were present at the book presentation in Rotterdam. The book aims to make children think about the future of the planet and changing climate. An audio version is available.

Good for the Princess, I admire her for her passion to combat illiteracy. I have always liked Laurentien.

Me neither, antonieta. Could be that it refers to the school and
not to Laurentien... Here's an additional gallery from ppe which
also explains why the event took place on a Sunday, it's not
been a normal school day, but the childbookfair "Luistervinken &
Boekenwurmen" (Eavesdroppers and bookworms).
