Come in and find out more about my passions in all things concerning books and hockey …
My whole life has somehow been characterised and filled with my love for books. Because of that, I became an artisan bookbinder before I started not only to bind but also to write and illustrate books. In between, I studied French and art education and became, above all, a mum filling her children's bookshelves with plenty of books. Until the day I tried to put in one about my son's favourite hobby: Hockey.
It didn't exist... So I began to write a book series for boys and girls of primary school age and "The Hockey-Kids" were born.
That was in 2014 and marked the beginning of my reading tours through Germany's classrooms and hockey clubs. During the past four years, I have been able to reach hundreds of pupils, to infect them with my passion for hockey and to be involved in so many amazing tournaments, whether for kids or at the IHWC 2015. Not to forget the book fairs where Lena, Lars & Max, my three little "Hockey-Kids", have also delighted lots of children. In March 2017 in Leipzig, for instance, with the fantastic launch of Book 2 of the German version of this hockey book series or this year with my participation and a great kids’ activity program at the IHWC 2018 in Berlin.
From the outset, it increasingly became my heartfelt wish to introduce children to our great sport - Hockey - and give them reading material focusing on their sporting hobby. But I wanted not only young children in Germany to take the Hockey-Kids Lena, Max and Lars to their hearts. So, in February 2017, with the wonderful cooperation of Swiss Hockey, our three little Hockey friends took the first small step into the big international world …
Today I am very happy to announce the translation and publication of Book 1 of my children's book series "The Hockey-Kids" in English, Dutch and in 2018 in French and Spanish. The original German version was already published in 2014 and in a new edition in 2016.
Follow me and my tiny publishing company on a journey full of colours, fun... and HOCKEY! Feel free to contact me for further information about my cooperations, reading tours and books.
