Roxie Fiste

Horses and ponies have always fascinated me. At least since I was old enough to walk. I began drawing them as soon as I could hold a crayon. Today, I enjoy not only creating new characters, but also helping children expand their imaginations through art and storytelling.

I created my “Ali” character during my junior year in high school.
My youngest brother's imagination was the spark for my "Mika" character in Ali's Big Adventure.

I’m a wife, a mom, an artist, a model horse collector, an amateur astronomer, author.

Barbara Pinke

Barbara Pinke is an award-winning children’s book author who believes every story deserves a sprinkle of adventure, a dash of heart, and maybe even a dancing fish or two.

Born and raised in Hungary, Barbara hopscotched her way across Europe—collecting memories, inspiration, and probably a few too many notebooks—before settling in Germany with her family (and her ever-growing tea stash).

By day, she works in HR (helping grown-ups), and by night, she writes books (helping little hearts grow big). She doesn’t drink coffee (though she loves the smell), but give her a cup of warm plum tea and a handful of pistachios, and she’s ready to take on any story.

Whether she’s writing about underwater adventures, superhero parents, or bugs that love to hug
