Sibylle von Olfers (1881–1916) was a German author and illustrator best known for her enchanting children's books that seamlessly blend nature and fantasy. Born in Schloss Metgethen, near Königsberg, Prussia, Olfers grew up in a noble family where she developed a deep appreciation for art and nature. Her most famous work, *The Story of the Root Children* (1906), is a classic that continues to captivate generations with its beautifully illustrated tale of nature’s seasons and cycles.

Olfers' works are often compared to those of Beatrix Potter, both for their gentle storytelling and exquisite illustrations. In addition to her literary work, Olfers was also a Benedictine nun, which influenced the themes of simplicity and harmony in her art. Tragically, her life was cut short at the age of 34 due to illness, but her legacy lives on through her timeless books, which remain beloved in children's literature. Olfers’ unique ability to depict the natural world with a sense of wonder and reverence has secured her place as a significant figure in early 20th-century children's literature.
