Sylvia Englert

Sylvia Englert (b.1970) always wanted to be a writer. It was a childhood dream she eventually succeeded in fulfilling after various intermezzi working as a copy editor and journalist. Since then, she has published a number of books for children and young adults (under the pen name
Katja Brandis). Her book Wörterwerkstatt was nominated for the German Prize for Youth Literature. She really enjoys answering questions – that explains why seven titles in the children’s non-fiction series Frag doch mal die Maus are by her. But she has clearly got far more fun out
of inventing comical answers for the little Whywolf.
Englert lives near Munich with her husband, their very inquisitive son and three cats.
