About the Author

Kari Percival's illustration style is rooted in the woodcuts she's been carving and printing for more than two decades. Kari is a 2017 recipient of the New England SCBWI Four-by-Four Mentorship. She earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master's in education and environmental science from Antioch University. Ecology has always been her favorite topic to teach, whether in the classroom or in the community garden. Kari lives with her husband and two children just outside Boston near a magical waterfall. On rainy days, she can be found rescuing earthworms out of puddles (because she just can't walk by when they are wiggling for help).

Kari obtuvo una licenciatura en Bellas Artes del School of the Art Institute of Chicago y una maestría en Educación y Ciencias Ambientales de Antioch University. Su tema favorito para enseñar siempre ha sido la ecología, ya sea en la escuela o en el jardín comunitario. Kari vive con su esposo y sus dos hijos en las afueras de Boston, cerca de una cascada mágica. Cuando llueve, la puedes encontrar rescatando lombrices de los charcos (porque no puede resistir salvarlos cuando piden ayuda).
