Author Biography
Steffi & Michael Gerharz live in Troisdorf, near Cologne, with their three children. Under their brand name, aprilkind, they design and develop stories and cuddly toys that children play with all over the world. The idea for the Grumbletroll came to them when their youngest daughter was sitting across the breakfast table from them. They designed the little troll as a transformable soft toy, with great attention to detail, so that you can’t help but love him even when he’s angry – and developed a concept for series of picture books, working with Stephan Pricken and Barbara van den Speulhof to bring them to life.
As a passionate children’s book author, director and producer of (children’s) audio dramas, Barbara van den Speulhof knows that the topic of anger plays a large role in a lot of families – so the idea of the little troll, who gives free reign to his rage and has to learn about how it makes his friends feel, was a perfect fit for her. She tells the story in sensitive language – authentic, affectionate and with no finger-wagging, guaranteed!
As father to a son, Stephan Pricken is familiar with terrible fits of anger. After flirting with mechanical engineering and architecture, he initially studied to become a primary school teacher, with a focus on art, followed by graphic design in Münster, where he still lives. Today, he is a freelance illustrator. Developing the little troll based on the existing cuddly toy was unusual but exciting work for him, and he has done a fantastic job of it – you can’t help but love his Grumbletroll!
