Tatjana Shnitka

Tatjana Shnitka – a children’s fantasy author

who firmly believes that the world around us

is full of wonders! She knows this from her two

grandchildren. In a world invisible to adults but

undeniably real, kind (and not-so-kind) creatures

live, play pranks, rejoice, and sometimes grieve.

It is essential for children to know about them. If

we don’t tell them in time, they will grow up to be

adults who understand nothing—grim and overly

serious. That must not happen! The heroes of

her children’s fantasy books are ghosts, gnomes,

house spirits, and other worthy beings that

certainly reside in her city—Riga.
