The book Lunch at the Forest is a continuation of the popular collection of stories Behind Nine Trees, which was also included in the White Ravens catalogue. Ten new animal stories with old (and new!) friends are waiting for the reader to find them facing new challenges.As in the previous stories, the author’s sense of humor and her taste for language antics do not diminish one bit.

Her second book also contains ten animal stories, in which the reader meets old acquaintances, as well as some new ones. This time the lynx is looking for the right word, the animals are choosing the forest president, the wolf suffers from insomnia, and the peaceful forest everyday life is disturbed bythe arrival of a stranger - a wild striped beast. The author is no stranger to wordplay, and her engaging characters are put in front of very imaginative challenges. In her stories, spikes are not reserved only for hedgehogs, but here and there she also pokes with some socially critical thorns.

Tina Arnuš Pupis (1982), a university graduate in Social Pedagogy, embarked on her writing career in 2016 by participating in the Spirala Writing Contest. Her debut work titled Za devetimi drevesi (In a Faraway Forest) was published shortly after and was included in the White Ravens Collection by the International Youth Library in Munich.
Her poetry and prose have been published in Slovenian children's magazines such as Ciciban, Cicido and Galeb. From time to time, she also writes adult poetry.
She loves nature, animals, rhymes, word games and inspirational words of wisdoms spiced up with a touch of humour. And what she loves most is to combine all this in her literary works.
