I'm Attila Turba, author of the "Green-eared Elf and his friends" series.

Until I was 50, writing was a dream. For a very long time I cherished the idea of writing, when an illness put me to bed and I couldn't do anything but write. I reassessed what I was doing and understood the message my body was sending me. First, I set about writing down the stories I had told my children every night for 15 years during our evening snuggle sacred time. We shaped and lived the stories together, and such a strong bond was formed between me and the stories that I had no trouble writing them down years later.

My eldest child, now grown up and a talented painter, was happy to illustrate the books. Annus added a truly unique visual world to the stories. It is also a joint creation, because the illustrations are inspired by memories and good feelings that emerge from the intimate relationship between children and parents during storytelling sessions.

I took the plunge and set up a publishing company with a friend, and we have already launched the first volume, which has found its way into the hearts of children and parents, based on the feedback we have received. Now we want to publish part 2. To do this, we would like to ask for community support, first of all from those who are waiting for the sequel, but also from anyone who is interested in our story.

If you donate, we will offer to send a signed copy of the book on request to those who donate £5,000 or more, as soon as we are able to publish it.

Thank you again for your support on behalf of ourselves and the children and families waiting for the sequel!

Atilla and Annus are the authors and illustrators of the book.
