Author Biography
Armin Kaster read world literature as a boy, which he did not understand, and still wished to become a writer. After exotic excursions into wholesale and foreign trade and economics, he turned to education and then to art. Now he works as a freelance author and artist and lives with his family in Düsseldorf. For years he has been carrying out literary and artistic projects with children and young people in Germany and abroad. He is particularly enthusiastic about the witty lifeworlds of young people, which he likes to transform into stories.
Verlag Jungbrunnen
Verlag Jungbrunnen was founded in 1923. Background was the intention to supply children who otherwise didn’t have access to books with high quality literature. Even though almost 100 years have gone by since then, the aim is still the same: Jungbrunnen produces quality picture books and novels for children and young adults from 2 to 14. Literary style and language, fantasy and craftsmanship in illustrations, universal topics which touch the souls of young people – all those elements unite to extraordinary books, which are entertaining and demanding at the same time. Young people can feel at home in them and have a chance to deal with existential questions in a protected space.
