Teacher by career choice, José Carlos Andrés never managed to practice because theatre entered his life. He started writing theatre for children. He is fascinated by writing, because it allows him to create new worlds full of laughter and emotions. He has published theatre plays for children and families, a theatre guide, storytelling, theatre art and clowning for all ages, stories for picturebooks… He is the author, among others, of Adopting a Dinosaur, I'm a Zcary Vampire or The Journey of Captain Scaredy Cat. After studying illustration at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences and graduating in 2011, Katharina Sieg has been working for different clients in various fields, bringing playful and detailed illustrations to children’s books, tableware, packaging and magazines.
This book is more than just a story about a mouse in a bookstore; it is a tribute to the magic of libraries and bookstores, and the communities they foster. It emphasizes the idea that fulfillment and contentment often come from the most unexpected sources – in this case, the pages of a book and the companionship found in a shared love for stories – Mr Alex's Bookshelf.
