Who are these guys??
So I'm one of those people who has done a bit of everything... always following my heart and my passions. I've been a "biologist" since I was a tiny kid, making pictures of all the cool science I saw, like a true naturalist. I also collected beautiful children's books. So, I grew up (or maybe not!), became a whale biologist, and a scientific illustrator/animator. And a children's book writer and illustrator.
I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but now live in Houston, Texas. I have a beautiful, smart, free-spirited daughter named Lucy (adopted from Ethiopia), who is an avid reader (and daredevil). She is my constant stream of joy and inspiration.
By the way, we are not trying to be impolite in this picture... this is a Maori greeting called "Kiora!"
