Kathy Urban is a multilingual journalist and the author of Hop Lola Hop - a series of children’s books about a beloved comfort toy that goes missing.
The stories were inspired by Kathy’s eldest daughter’s favourite toy bunny, which they lost many, many times - during trips to the supermarket, walks in the park and even on a desert camel ride.
Hop Lola Hop was first published in 2022. The second book in the series, Hop Lola Hop - A Yummy Market Day Adventure - releases in the spring of 2023. It follows Lola and Ella on a trip to their local farmers market.
With her nose stuck in books for as long as she can remember, Kathy grew up admiring the works of great storytellers and the imaginary worlds they created.
But it was listening to the stories her dad would tell her that prompted Kathy to make up ones for her own children.
A world nomad, Kathy has lived in the UK, US, Denmark, Germany and these days calls Dubai her home.
