Åsa Mendel-Hartvig lives in Stockholm and works as a writer and communicator. Tesla's mother does not want! was Åsa's debut as a children's book author and it quickly became a favorite among both children and adults. Since then, Åsa has written the books about Konrad, Orättvist! and wonderful Tittaserien.
"The idea for the reference books came when I read an article with the title 'Endangered - the child in nature'. It inspired me to write about young children's encounters with and experiences of nature. I think it is important to get a feel for nature, so that we care about it and want to preserve it. Small children often find nature absolutely fantastically exciting, if only they get out into it.”
