Fiep Westendorp received the medal of honor from her hometown of Zaltbommel in 1982. In 1995 the city honored her with a statue of Jip and Janneke, made by Ton Koops, on the Waalkade. You see little reminders of her everywhere in the city. In the Maarten van Rossumhuis, an entire department is dedicated to Fiep Westendorp and her work.

Illustrator Fiep Westendorp's most famous creation, of course, shouldn't be missing from her birthplace. More information about her can be found at: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiep_Westendorp
