About the Author
Novia Heroanto is a Sydney-based illustrator and early childhood teacher. She predominantly works by penciling her initial ideas on paper and finalizing the complete illustrations on both computer and iPad. Her inspiration flows from the candid interactions, conversations, and ideas of the young children that she teaches, as well as her toddler at home. She envisions herself as a bridge between early years education and the creative art sector to nurture empathy and creativity through drawings, and stories.
