She also won the award in 1988 for illustrating the book Mijn broer is een punker by Maria Heylen. [1]

In 2001, Godon and André Sollie won the Gouden Griffel award for their book Wachten op Matroos (2000). [2] She also won a Vlag en Wimpel award for her illustrations in the book. [2] In Flanders the book was awarded the Boekenpauw and Boekenwelp awards. [2] [3] [4] The English translation of the book Hello, Sailor was published in 2003. The book caused controversy in England as it was argued that its inclusion in school curricula effectively forced schools to include books with homosexual characters.

She also received a Boekenpauw award in 2015 for her illustrations in the book Ik denk written by Toon Tellegen. [4] In 2009, she received a Boekenpluim award for illustrating the book Morgen was het feest, also written by Toon Tellegen.
