Torben Kuhlmann was born in Germany in 1982. Highly creative as a young child, Torben was recognized as early as kindergarten for being a gifted draftsman. He was captivated by small airplanes, strange machines, and steaming trains; these elements made their way into his drawings. He studied illustration and design at the Hamburg University for Applied Sciences. His preferred media are pen and watercolor. He also works with acrylics, oil paints, and digital programs. He works as a freelance illustrator in Hamburg. His books Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse, Moletown, and Armstrong-The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon quickly became best sellers and owe their inventiveness to Torben's great enthusiasm for unusual mechanical inventions. Edison -The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure is his fourth picture book for NorthSouth Books.

Kuhlmann's copiously illustrated science fiction tribute to space exploration follows Armstrong on his quest to be the first mouse on the moon. -- "School Library Journal, starred review" The scientific notes at the end of the tale give those inquisitive minds any answers they were still missing and provide some more details into the Apollo mission. A great way to introduce students to the history behind the first man on the moon.-- "School Library Journal"
