Katarina Genar
Katarina Genar has lived in Germany, France and lives now in Sweden with her family. When she is not writing, she works as a speech therapist with children’s language development.
Since her debut in 2010, she has published several critically acclaimed books that are loved by the young readers. In her writing she is often inspired by what she experiences, sees or hears: a melancholy piano tune, a few swings on a deserted playground or a hand painted china cup with blue flowers that suddenly put her imagination in motion.
