Actor and entrepreneur Edgar Wurfbain and his girlfriend – furniture designer Anoek van Nunen – are expecting their first baby in June 2010.
The actor will publish a series of childrens books and a listening CD. The first book will be published in July 2010. Inspired by becoming a father himself, Wurfain wrote several stories about an old tree called Henrey. Henrey tells his lifestories to different characteristic animal figures in the woods. Through these books children will learn more about different kinds of subjects, which they will come across later in life. The stories are both educational and exciting.
Joris Kivits will illustrate the books and musical singer Cyrille van Hoof will be singing two songs on the listening CD. The books are ment for children between three and six years old.
