Kempter
As a child, I often made up little stories, drew pictures to go with them, and dreamed of writing children's books one day. It took a while for my dream to come true. After my first books, I went on to write scripts for children's radio and television programs.

Books should transport children away from everyday life, make them laugh or think, and above all, bring them joy.
Doctor Mouse
Doctor Mouse is there for his patients all day long. His practice is very popular, not least because of his unorthodox treatment methods: instead of prescribing medication, the mouse doctor trusts that things will sort themselves out. No visit to the doctor has ever been so much fun!

Christa Kempter
I was born in Ingelheim am Rhein, am married, have four grown children, and seven grandchildren. Since 1992, I have been working as a freelance children's book author and for radio and television.
I love traveling to Provence, I like animals, especially cats and donkeys, and I am happy when one of my dreams comes true every now and then. I still live and work in my hometown of Ingelheim.
