Author Notes:Reina Ollivier (Ukkel, Belgium, 1956) studied Germanic languages at the Universities of Brussels and Leuven. She combined writing with teaching at secondary schools for many years, but now she's a full-time author and renowned translator. Young children have an open mind and are eager to learn. That's why Reina loves to offer them information in an attractive and playful manner. She has written multiple books in Clavis Publishing's "Want to Know" series, and together with polar explorer Dixie Dansercoer, she wrote the thrilling series about Emma Dewitt and her adventures in the polar regions. Reina is also the co-author of the wildly popular Super Animals series.

Karel loves traveling, sailing, playing tennis, cross-country skiing, swimming, and reading.
