About the Illustrator

Illustrator MELANIE LINDEN CHAN works in a variety of media - including watercolor, acrylic, and pen and ink - to create books for children that open their minds to other cultures and ways of life. Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean is among her first book-length projects.

Melanie and her husband are raising their two young children in Rhode Island, along with three very fluffy cats.
