A new book illustrated entirely by me is in the works! "Die Hexe Quendel". Coming Soon

 

The book cover: text by Baerner Rose, illustrations by me

This children's book is a wonderful story of magic, solitude, self-confidence, and self-esteem set in Nature. The protagonist is the young witch Quendel and her Cat. The bilingual text is in Standard German and Bernese-Swiss German. It's a must-have. It's a project I've been deeply involved in for months: a project I'm particularly passionate about and into which I'm pouring my whole heart!

As always, I thank Verena Zuercher and Landverlag for this wonderful opportunity.

Landverlag Langnau, Switzerland

Anyone interested and wanting to pre-order it (I hope it's successful, Verena and I are putting all our passion and dedication into it 😊) can do so on the Buchhaus Bookshop website:www.buchhaus.ch

And a review (from the back cover) by the famous wildlife photographer, and Bestseller author,

Frank Hecker, on the beautiful book by Verena Zürcher: 

"Ich bin schwer beeindruckt vom Umfang und von der Vielfältigkeit der Herangehensweise. Das gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, erweitert meinen vielleicht zu biologischen Blick auf die Natur und macht im jeden Fall Lust auf genaueres Lesen. Die Illustrationen sind klasse. Ein tolles Buch."

("I am deeply impressed by the width and variety of the approach. I like that very much, it expands my perhaps too biological view of nature and definitely makes you want to read more deeply. The illustrations are marvellous. A wonderful book." The translation from the German is mine.)
