Aino Pervik (born 22 April 1932 in Rakvere) is an Estonian children's writer, and translator.
She is "considered the bravest children's writer" in contemporary Estonia, as "she takes on difficult themes of immigration, cultural conflict, corruption, and the loss of cultural identity".




Life and career


Pervik began her schooling at Järvakandi Factories in 1939, continued in 1946–1950 in Tallinn, and graduated from Tartu State University in 1955 with a degree in Finno-Ugric philology. Pervik has lived in Tallinn since 1955. She worked at the Estonian State Publishing House as an editor of children’s and young-adult literature, and at the Eesti Televisioon (ETV) studio as an editor of programs for the same age group. Since 1967, she has been a freelance writer and translator from Hungarian.




Personal


Aino Pervik was married to writer Eno Raud who died in 1996; their children are scholar and author Rein Raud, musician and writer Mihkel Raud and children's writer and illustrator Piret Raud.
