Mr Beetle is very proud of his Bug Hotel.
He's even prouder of the Book of Rules, which all his guests must follow.
But can any bug be snug without a little bit of freedom?
Manu Montoya was born in Medellín, Colombia, in 1990. She studied Graphic Design and Advertising in her hometown and Art Direction in Barcelona, where she lives. She grew up both in the city and the country and spent most of her childhood drawing, playing with plants and animals, and exploring the woods. Manu has worked for advertising agencies and as an illustrator for SM editorial, Cruïlla, Penguin Random House, Usborne, Little Brown, Candlewick, and others. She loves working with gouache, colored pencils, ink, and digital media.
