As an interior architect and mother of three children, Silke learned that playful parenting is the key to children's hearts and minds. Much like Ian, Silke had brought up her three children to express their feelings and to be creative. Silke's gentle, charming, and humourous illustrations brought Ian's stories to life and it was Silke who had the inspiration to add a song to each book.
