@puntarella Thanks!
Finding Dutch books is quite hard, no? To be honest, when I looked into climate fiction/ solarpunk stuff in Dutch, all I found was translated works from other languages into Dutch. But they could be good for reading Dutch/English side by side?
Originally in Dutch, I think youth or YA authors are quite easy to understand or to begin with. I saw that Jan Terlouw has two older books about climate and ways people could be acting better (Vloed and Oosterschelde), maybe those will interest you?
Thea Beckman and Carry Slee are classics for Dutch millennial teens, but they're all quite tragic stories. Guus Kuijer writes middle grade and YA stories that are a little more upbeat (I loved his 'madelief' books growing up). I'm not really familiar with the authors that have become more popular for the youth since I've grown up.
I really like Esther Gerritsen, her books are short, simple but also very... tragic. Jente Posthuma is quite popular now, but it's tragic too. Lize Spit is popular in Belgium, but her books are... a little sad and messed up. I'm seeing a trend here! π
If you can navigate Dutch enough, I think an interesting thing to do would be to go to an online catalogue of a Dutch or Flemish library and to browse in certain topics.
Sorry I can't be of more help, I'm not really familiar with what books would be good for anyone studying Dutch as a an additional language! But I wish you all the best in learning! And feel free to post Dutch comments anywhere on my page anytime if you'd like to practice. βΊοΈ
