Author Verena Prym and illustrator Paulina Böger have been inseparable from the very first second. They both share a zest for life, curiosity and creativity but express themselves in different ways: Paulina creates films, draws and illustrates while Verena develops and writes stories.

When Verena returned from her stays in South Africa and Malawi with a story about an unusual giraffe, they both asked: Why don´t we build a world of its own around this special giraffe? Said and done!

They are now creating inspiring children´s books that spend hope and stimulate creative imagination. Furthermore they would like to address adults, who feel young enough to dream of distant worlds and wild animals together with their children or grandchildren.

Verena and Paulina believe in the power of books for a healthy development of children and encourage reading with and to children. The books are recommended for children from the age of six.

They also offer beautiful T- Shirts, Gymsacks and soon lucky charms sending Rafu´s message to the world.

With our RAFU books and Rafu´s world we would like to convey values like tolerance and respect. We build on friendship and courageous action.

Verena Prym and Paulina Böger are a mother and daughter team who have been inseparable from the very first second. They both share a zest for life, curiosity and creativity but express themselves in different ways: Paulina creates films, draws and illustrates while Verena develops and writes stories.

They are very happy and grateful to be able to work side by side. Together they have created the colourful and imaginative world of Rafu.
