Growing up in a creative household, Yasmin started drawing at a very young age. Her dad was her mentor, teaching her not only the mechanics of drawing but how to view the world through an artist’s sense. He has always been her inspiration and still continues to be. She has spent her gap year illustrating Disinformation and other children’s books, and she is currently taking a course in 3D animation. Yasmin dedicates this book to her father, Steve Page, who began the illustration of the Series, but unfortunately passed away suddenly. "This book is for you, Dad. I hope I did your art justice."
