Jonas Kötz was born in Hamburg in 1965. He was so bored at school that he started to draw. After his school-leaving exam, alternative national service and a year sheep-shearing in Australia, he studied Communication Design in Hamburg. Today, he lives and works as a sculptor and children‘s book illustrator on the Elbe Island of Krautsand, just behind the dyke between Cuxhaven and Hamburg. He‘s married to a lovely wife, and they have three more or less grown-up children. Over 40 children‘s books have now been published, and his drawings and figures have been featured in exhibitions throughout Germany and abroad.
