About the Author

Children's book author Jana Sedlackova enjoys, among other things, singing in a choir and decorating gingerbread during Christmas. Her love for fairytales fuels her conviction that those who don't read them are still searching for the perfect one. She graduated from the School of Textile Design and Management in Brno, Czech Republic.

Katarina Kratochvilova creates editorial illustrations for magazine covers, children's books, and games, using expressive lines and a combination of analog and digital media. Her work focuses mainly on children's and young adult illustrations, as well as Japanese culture. In 2022, her comic book Used Kimono Store won a bronze Japan Manga Award. She is based in Prague.
