Siggy Siggy wants to surf

Scheveningen has gained an author and a children’s surf book with the publication of Siggy wil surfen – or, as it’s also called, Siggy Wants to Surf. This picture book tells one story in two languages: Dutch and English.

Siggy lives by the sea in Scheveningen and dreams of surfing. But it’s not as easy as she thinks. Fortunately, help comes from an unexpected source. With tips from familiar sea and beach objects, like the lighthouse and the breakwater, Siggy learns to surf. More importantly, she discovers that it’s not all about performance.

A Bilingual Book for a Bilingual City
The book can also be flipped to read the story in either Dutch or English, making Siggy wil surfen a valuable addition to any Hague bookshelf. It’s perfect not only for the growing number of bilingual families in The Hague but also for Dutch-speaking parents who want a fun and accessible way to practice English with their children.
