Born in Vienna, Austria, Werner is now living in Perth, Australia with his wife, two married children, and three grandchildren. He worked many years in the printing industry and later for the United Nations in Vienna. After an eventful life, now retired, he began to write children's stories, had them illustrated through Upwork, narrated them himself for YouTube and finally published the ebooks on most platforms. Werner's dream is to see "Oliver and Jumpy" animated as a TV series.
There are lots of fairy tales and bedtime stories around and many of them quite violent. This made Werner decide to write something different. On a flight from Europe to Australia, he watched the movie Magic on Belle Island with Morgan Freeman, where Freeman teaches a little girl to have imagination and write her first story. This inspired Werner as well and the first stories with his two characters Oliver, the elegant tomcat, and Jumpy, his kangaroo lady friend, made their appearance. Some very capable illustrators have helped to create this picture book series.
Author Peter Frederick sums it all up!
Here are books created by Werner Stejskal, an author who has a wonderful sense of adaptability into the world of a child. Movements, sentiments, expressions, and ideas are being visualized, that enthrall and win over the little reader. Plus, his terminology is perfectly matched to the mood of each self-contained story. The author also displays amazing sensitivity and is able to transport even adults back into long-past childhood. All good virtues are being emphasized, like friendship, loyalty, determination and civility, giving the fascinated reader the right signals for spiritual development. The main characters, Oliver and Jumpy, are the masters of a variety of situations that draw the reader into the stories. But one of the main reasons for the success of these children's books is the artwork! The graphics, outstandingly created by the artist, have their hues and shapes completely adapted to the respective situation and so contribute to the emotional absorption of each picture. Text and message, somber feelings and cheery situations are being created and masterly entertain the little readers. One can only recommend this series of children's books to all adults who wish to keep their little ones occupied in a positive, entertaining and learning environment!
ILLUSTRATORS
I would like to introduce the six illustrators who made ‘Oliver and Jumpy’ so successful. These talented ladies and gents have put a lot of effort into their art.
Marvin Alonso, is a gentleman from the Philippines. He started off the series with amazing pictures and a huge initiative. He never needed to be told anything and developed all scenes by himself. Unfortunately, he decided to look for other work after about 10 stories. He was sorely missed.
The next illustrators did between one to four stories each.
Vinil Raj
Yon Rifa’i
Anahii Aleksanyan
Mario Tereso
And then there is Maycee Ann Reyes and her husband Allan … They were everything one could wish for. Developing great scenes, self-reliant, reliable, courteous and quick. These guys got married while working on 400 illustrations for my series. I can highly recommend this talented team for any of your picture book illustrations.
TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOLA
Nacido en Viena, Austria, Werner ahora vive en Perth, Australia con su esposa, dos hijos ya casados y tres nietos. Él trabajó muchos años en la industria de la impresión y luego para las Naciones Unidas en Viena. Después de una vida algo agitada, ahora que se encuentra jubilado, comenzó a escribir cuentos infantiles, hizo que se ilustrarán a través Upwork, los narró con su propia voz en YouTube y finalmente los publicó en formato electrónico en las principales plataformas. El sueño de Werner es ver a "Oliver y Saltarina" convertida en una serie de dibujos animados en la televisión.
Hay una gran cantidad de cuentos de hadas e historias infantiles para dormir y muchos de ellos incluyen bastante violenta. Esto hizo que Werner se decidiese a escribir algo diferente. En un vuelo de Europa a Australia vio la película “El verano de sus vidas” con Morgan Freeman, donde Freeman enseña a una niña a tener imaginación y a escribir su primera historia. Esto inspiró también a Werner y dio lugar a las primeras historias con sus dos personajes Oliver, un elegante gato, y Saltarina, su amiga canguro. Algunos ilustradores muy competentes le han ayudado a crear esta serie de libros bellamente ilustrados.
¡El autor Peter Frederick lo resume todo!
Estos son los libros creados por Werner Stejskal, un autor que tiene un maravilloso sentido de la adaptabilidad en el mundo de los niños. Se visualizan movimientos, sentimientos, expresiones e ideas que cautivan y conquistan a los pequeños lectores. Además, su redacción se adapta perfectamente al ambiente de cada historia. El autor también muestra una sensibilidad increíble y es capaz de transportar inclusive a los adultos hacia ese mundo imaginario y hacerlos revivir su infancia. Todas las buenas virtudes se enfatizan, como la amistad, la lealtad, la determinación y la civilidad, dándole al fascinado lector las señales adecuadas para el desarrollo espiritual. Los personajes principales, Oliver y Saltarina, son los maestros de una variedad de situaciones que atraen al lector en las historias. ¡Pero una de las principales razones para el éxito de estos libros infantiles son las ilustraciones! Los gráficos, extraordinariamente creados por el artista, tienen sus matices y formas completamente adaptadas a la situación respectiva y así contribuyen a la absorción emocional de cada imagen. Textos y mensajes, sentimientos tristes y situaciones alegres se crean y entretienen magistralmente a los pequeños lectores. ¡Sólo puedo recomendar esta serie de cuentos para niños a todos los adultos que deseen mantener a sus pequeños ocupados en un ambiente positivo, en el que a la vez se diviertan y aprendan!
