Anja Stoeckigt is a self-taught illustrator with an appreciation for the peculiar and the everyday beautiful. She is best known for her whimsical, nature-inspired artwork under the name Papertales. When she was a little girl, she would constantly linger in the stationary section of any shop and dream of all the different images she would one day create with these tools. Today, Anja's illustrations celebrate curiosity, kindness, and the quiet magic of everyday life - from fluffy clouds and curious creatures to playful, heartfelt moments. She loves creating quirky characters that children can fall in love with and drawing floating hats on top of wild animals. Picture books are a particular passion of hers and she hopes this comes across with all the little details hidden in its pages. Paper Tales marks Anja's debut as both authors and illustrator, expanding her creative world into a joyful exploration of form, colour, and imagination.
Three friends — and their adorable paper pets — embark on a magical origami adventure. They brave stormy seas, rescue a flock of birds, and even face down a fiery paper dragon.
This enchanting wordless picture book invites little ones to dream, imagine, and tell their own stories. With every turn of the page, children build confidence, spark creativity, and learn the joy of storytelling long before they can read.
Perfect for ages 3–6, Paper Tales inspires open-ended play, language development, and endless adventures of the imagination.
Every page tells a new story just waiting for your child to begin it!
