Info autore
Pavla Hanackova (1990–2021) was a Czech author who studied English and Chinese at Palacký University, Olomouc, and later worked as a children's book editor for Albatros. In addition to her love of travel, she had a deep passion for food – and all things food-related. She hailed from a picturesque Moravian village surrounded by vineyards.
Dasha Lebesheva is an illustrator from Moscow, Russia. After she graduated from the British Higher School of Art and Design Dasha discovered vector illustration and developed her own style. It is based on smooth lines, angular silhouettes and precise geometry. Dasha likes working with shapes and colors, simplifying, seeking and finding the best solution – minimalistic but expressive. Dasha loves dogs, gorillas, funny socks and pumpkin soup. She usually spends her free time playing video games, reading comics and beautiful children’s books, rewatching Disney animated films and eating chocolate cereal (preferably at night).
