Sometimes, his stories were about everyday people facing big challenges, like a letter from someone you’ve never met or a race against time. His imagination was as big as a playground!

Stefan’s life was full of changes. He was born in a beautiful city called Vienna. But as he grew up, things in Europe became difficult. He had to leave his home and travel to many places, like England and even Brazil, which he really loved! Imagine packing your bags and moving far away to a new land.
