Meike Haberstock, born in 1976, lives with her husband and three children in Hannover. She studied pedagogy (and briefly tried a couple of other subjects as well), worked for many years in advertising as a creative director and isn’t good with figures. When she’s not moving (she’s done that 16 times so far), she writes and/or illustrates children’s books with events that sometimes resemble her life: funny, colourful and at times a little chaotic.
