About the Author
Heidi E. Y. Stemple has authored almost 50 books, many of which include elements of the natural world. This is her first book about bugs! Moving from Moscow to London at five years old, Yuliya Pankratova went on to graduate with degrees in English literature and illustration, getting her first job in advertising and launching her own diversity and inclusion business. Maybe that's why belonging is such a key theme in her picture books, which she illustrates with a painterly and dynamic style.
