About the Author

Bohdana Jarosova studied at library school in Brno before continuing at Charles University in Prague, where she pursued but did not complete her degree due to her interest in journalism. She spent 17 years working for Lidove noviny and Mlad fronta DNES, primarily covering healthcare and economics. In January 2023, she became a literary editor at B4U Publishing, where she combines journalistic rigour with creative freedom in children's non-fiction. She lives in Prague. Filip Hornik is an illustrator, graphic designer, and member of the Association of Illustrators (ASIL). He graduated from the School of Applied Arts in Kremnica and completed his doctoral studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. Currently engaged in book and magazine illustration for children, he contributes to the Slovak magazines Bublina and Slnieko, in which he is a co-creator of the legendary character of Joko Mrkvika. His illustrations have been part of many exhibitions around Europe. He lives and works in Smolenice, a small village under the mysterious Carpathian mountains.
