Author Information

Satu Kontinen is a graphic designer who lives in the very snowy country of Finland, where she was born. She runs her own design company called Satukala, and with a partner she has set up the Nuppu Print Company, specializing in stationery, art prints, and textiles. One year she left the wintry white landscape of her native land for an extended stay in the lush country of New Zealand and was inspired by all its vibrant colors. It wasn't until her son was born that she discovered a love for children's illustration and storytelling, but once she began it was as if the passion had lived in her secretly all along. This is her first picture book.
