Art was her life, but she had to give up her dreams of becoming an artist because of her family’s financial problems. Almost twenty years ago, she came to the United States to live in Idaho with her family, where she continued to draw on her own. This is her first children’s book with all the illustrations painted by both the author and her youngest daughter, Akina.
