Autorenporträt
Lily Duval is an artist, writer and researcher based in beautiful Ohinehou/Lyttelton. She's an insect nerd, book lover and obsessive tramper. Lily's always been addicted to drawing -- in kindergarten the teachers had to pull her away from the paints so the other children could have a turn! A love of stories led her to complete a Masters in English Literature, which examined our attitudes to insects here in Aotearoa. She's always raving about why we need to love bugs and not squish them. Critters of Aotearoa is her first picture book. Nicola Toki has been a ' nature nerd' for as long as she can remember. She is deeply passionate about Aotearoa New Zealand's endemic wildlife, and especially telling stories about it to anyone who will listen! After studying zoology and natural history filmmaking at the University of Otago (which led her to spend a summer on an island near the Antarctic Peninsula researching Adelie penguins), Nic feels very lucky to have built a career as a champion for nature. She believes that telling people stories of hope drives action to protect the species we love
