  East Prussia, now Poland, is where I was born. In 1945 my family fled to the west of Germany. I went to school there and became a kindergarten teacher. In 1964 I immigrated to the United States, eventually becoming a Montessori teacher in Wisconsin, where I worked for many years 
  Reading to children, I learned, that one of their favorite subjects was animals. That knowledge I used in later years to create the Olli stories, this time going into the ocean, to introduce a new animal world to young children. While learning about these creatures they are entertained with rhyming stories and wonderful pictures. 
  Love and respect for all life, no matter where we find it, is my goal in these books. We are all living on the same planet, and we need to learn how to share it with everyone, no matter who they are and where their home is.

  Long time ago there were 3 houses, where lived a tailor, a carpenter and a smith. They were married and their wives were friends. Every Sunday they went together to church to have a regular gossip, on the way home they always stopped at a tavern to drink some brandy. Half a pint of brandy cost three pence, so that was just a penny from each of them. But the brandy went up in price - four pence for the half a pint. Nobody of them was willing to pay the extra penny. They decided to wager with each other whose husband was the most stupid and on the next Sunday this woman should play her husband the greatest trick and through this became free from paying, so each of the two others would give two pence for their Sunday's half pint. How will this story end? What jokes will they play?
