About us

Sebastian Graß

Sebastian Graß

Author · Art Director · Publisher

"Books that make children wonder in two languages — that's at the heart of everything we do."

As the proud uncle of two nieces, Sebastian experienced first-hand how magical reading together can be — and how rarely truly great bilingual books can be found. Books that aren't just translated, but written with care and love in both languages from the start.

In 2025, he founded Horizon & Hedge Press with a simple idea: to create books that resonate equally with children in Germany and in English-speaking countries. With Lino — a small cat with big dreams — the first book series was born.

Sebastian writes, art-directs the illustrations, and publishes every book personally. Every detail — from word choice to page design — is created with the families in mind who sit together at bedtime and read aloud.

What Sebastian reads

Books that inspire Horizon & Hedge Press:

  • Maurice Sendak — Where the Wild Things Are
  • Leo Lionni — Frederick
  • Tomi Ungerer — The Three Robbers
  • Astrid Lindgren — Pippi Longstocking

Horizon & Hedge Press

Horizon & Hedge Press is an independent children's book publisher focused on bilingual literature. Our books are published simultaneously in German and English — not as translations, but as equal first publications in both languages.

We believe books build bridges: between languages, between cultures, between generations. An evening with Lino should feel the same in Hamburg as in London.

All books are available on Amazon — as paperback in premium colour print.
