About the Tale...

Bohemians quickly fall into despair as a royal family feud dims the outlook of the Bohemian kingdom; once revered by all as the "Kingdom of Light."  Discover the "golden city" of central Europe through the eyes of a poor Czech orphan who saves lackluster Bohemian royals and her orphanage from various demise in The Adventures of Jordanka. The handmade recycled artwork is made out of fabrics and trinkets you would find in your grandmother's magical closet and junk drawer, or within the walls of a gypsy caravan. 

Giving Back

There are over 20,000 orphaned, abandoned, and institutionalized children in the Czech Republic today - an alarmingly high number for a country of its size. In July 2009, the author relocated to Prague to investigate the possibility of opening a privately run orphanage. At this time, Jordanka Inc. is committed to partnering with Czech-based NGOs that are assisting orphaned and needy children in the Czech Republic.

Author and Illustrator

Born in Japan, Reeves Teske spent most of her childhood in the U.S. Unable to afford a necklace one day, she began making her own baubles. Original pieces were made from antique Bohemian chandeliers and a few years later, she began writing a magical children's tale to coincide with the sparkly gems. Her love of international travel, European history, design and mission outreach to orphans is the colorful backdrop of The Adventures of Jordanka series. 10% of proceeds go towards helping children in need.
