Author Biography

As a father of four, Ian Worboys found himself looking for fun books preferably written in rhyming poetry, to help him connect to his children, entertain them and, more importantly, develop their imagination and creativity. Unable to find such books on the shelves of his local bookshop, he started writing the stories himself. Some 100 poems later the Crush Series began. As an interior architect and mother of three children, Silke Diehl learned that playful parenting is the key to children's hearts and minds. Much like Ian, Silke had brought up her three children to express their feelings and to be creative. Silke's gentle, charming, and humorous illustrations brought Ian's stories to life and it was Silke who had the inspiration to add a song to each book.
