Author Information

Megan Kat is the mom of two creative young boys who absolutely love to hear her stories. When her youngest son was born, her mother painted six animal portraits on the wall above his crib, one of them being a zebra. Megan would often tell her boys stories about the animals, which is where the story of Rafael the zebra and his creative friend Frederico came to life. ""The Zebra's Stripes"" is her debut book. Megan was born and raised in the Republic of Panama, where she had the privilege of being surrounded by a melting pot of cultures and inspiring biodiversity. Her father was a ship captain and a Panama Canal pilot; he would drive ships through the Panama Canal while passing down the art of storytelling to Megan. Megan and her husband, Sean, and their two children, Conor and Ian, live in Tampa, Florida, where they enjoy fishing and going on adventures. Living in Panama for 35 years with her family inspired Marsha's sense of color and design. Whether venturing into the jungles or exploring the coasts, she painted the mountains, the forests, the Islands, and the flora and fauna of Panama, and it was divine. Using her art education degree, Marsha gave art instruction to both children and adults using her own art program. She also organized many juried art shows, led art gallery tours, and encouraged many Panamanian artists to participate in these shows and sell their work. Marsha and her husband Don retired to Oregon where she painted her beloved Oregon coast for a decade. At present they reside in Tampa, Florida, where Marsha continues to teach art to her four grandchildren, living near her two daughters and their families. Illustrating children's books is a new joy she has found.
