About the author
Katerina Svozilova is an author of children’s books and an illustrator. She lives with her artist husband in a little house on the edge of the forest. They have a parrot called Oscar and several cats. Deer and hares graze in our garden, which is also visited by foxes, jays and spotted woodpeckers. As mother to four children and grandmother to two grandkids, she gets plenty of inspiration.
Mag Takac was born into the family of a painter and a graphic designer, so perhaps she had no choice but to follow in their footsteps . . . She likes most to illustrate books with animals and children in the main roles. It gives her great joy to watch kids’ eyes light up with delight as they turn the pages of a book she's worked on.
