About the author
Vivian Mineker is a Taiwanese-American illustrator who mainly works with watercolour and gouache. When she's not drawing or painting, you can probably find her outside running around with her dog Darlie, browsing and sniffing at books in bookstores, and occasionally stopping for a cup of coffee or a piece of cake.
