Deborah Hocking has been illustrating children's books from her studio in the woodsy northwest corner of the United States for several years, and is thrilled to debut as author-illustrator with The Great Pollination Investigation. Deborah earned a Master's degree in children's book illustration from the Cambridge School of Art where she discovered a love for printmaking. When not creating books, you can find Deborah taking her very silly poodle for long walks (aka squirrel patrol), exploring the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, or digging in her unruly garden.
