Anna Claybourne has written over 150 children's books on all kinds of subjects, from sharks, black holes and splitting the atom to how to draw, Shakespeare's life, and Greek myths and legends. She knows a lot about conservation in the rain forests of Costa Rica as she once volunteered there for three months. She likes space, sewing and music, plays the trombone and loves going camping. Yekyung was born and raised in South Korea and spent her childhood living in different cities in the US. She's now based in Dallas, Texas. Such experiences have melted into her art style, expressing diversity, using colourful shapes and patterns. She loves to draw delightful moods and imagery of affection, inspired by her old memories and daily emotions.
