Emy Geyskens Author

Kolet Janssen (1955, Hasselt, Belgium) studied Theology and was a teacher before she started writing books. She 'gathered' six children together with her husband: 3 foster children and 3 of their own. She writes picture books and contemporary texts for adults.

Emy Geyskens (1982, Geel, Belgium) worked as a teacher when the movie 'You've Got Mail!' inspired her to become a Reading Fairy. As Reading Fairy she visits libraries, schools and hospitals to read aloud to children. All those experiences help her write her books.

Emilie Timmermans is a Belgium based artist working for children's books, comics, visual development for animation, and 2D animator. She also works as a 2D animator for Cartoon Network among others.
