Jasmin Schaudinn

Jasmin Schaudinn worked in a nursery, as a dance teacher and on a cruise ship until her head was bursting with ideas. Inventing stories in complete silence, with her shaggy dog at her feet, then reading them aloud at school or nursery, playing with the children and being happy – that's the perfect role for Jasmin.
