TANYA LLOYD KYI is the author of more than thirty books for children and young adults, and she is almost always polite. Tanya has worked in the past as a graphic designer, an editor and a dishwasher. (She considers herself entirely qualified for that last one.) Her favorite color is blue, her favorite food is cheese and her favorite book is A Wrinkle in Time. When she's not dreaming up semi-vegan activists, Tanya teaches for the UBC School of Creative Writing in Vancouver, BC.
