• I’m adapting "The Inspiring Gardening Book for Kids" for Europe by including a European Hardiness Zone Map and replacing some plants with species that are better suited to local climates.
• I’m creating an improved gardening logbook for children, building on the one featured in "My Gardening Guide and Log Book", to make it even more engaging and practical for young gardeners.
• I’m also working on a book dedicated to planting and caring for decorative bushes and small trees, offering kids and families guidance on growing beautiful, lasting greenery in their gardens.
• Finally, I’m diving into the past with a book about the Carboniferous era, a fascinating time when plants first began to populate the Earth’s land, shaping the world as we know it today.

Each of these projects shares a common goal: inspiring young readers to explore and appreciate the natural world, whether through hands-on gardening or learning about the deep history of plants on our planet!(less)

How do you get inspired to write?

It was a family outing, and while sitting on a bench on the border of the Nympheas pond with my 6-year-old son, I took in the scene around us—colorful flowers in full bloom, bees and butterflies busily flitting from petal to petal, and despite the many visitors from all over the world, a peaceful atmosphere.

At that moment, I imagined a story for children, featuring a young gardener who would care for such a vibrant garden and all the insects, critters, and animals thriving within it. I imagined a child, a little older than my son, marveling at nature as we did that day. That vision became the spark for my first book, "The Little Gardener and the Butterfly Ballet".

To celebrate Claude Monet and the beauty of impressionism, I decided to illustrate the book with spread illustrations created in an impressionist painting style, using MidJourney AI. This artistic choice brings a dreamy, painterly feel to the book, echoing the magical atmosphere of Monet’s garden and immersing young readers in a world of color and wonder.

After this book, I turned to non-fiction, hoping to inspire young readers to explore the fascinating world around them and encourage them to care for nature through hands-on activities like gardening. This led to "My Gardening Guide and Log Book" and "The Inspiring Gardening Book for Kids", where I combined practical gardening guidance with fun activities to help children connect with nature in a meaningful way.(less)
