Rahel Villiger was born in 1997 as the sixth of 10 children in a rural environment in Switzerland.
Reading has always been her passion – as well as writing books. Even as a child she pulled out her pen and let her imagination run free. Fascinated by her storytelling, as much as half the village youth would assemble at her house and be carried away into foreign worlds by her stories, most of which were made up on the spot.
In 2019, Rahel Villiger finished her training as a primary school teacher in the USA, thus turning her affinity for children into a career. During these years she further developed her writing skills and composed her first books in English.
