About the Author

Tanja Russita lives in Tromsø, a Norwegian city above the Polar circle. Life there is simple, clear and close to nature; somehow funny and challenging too! Take a look -- this is reflected in Tanja's books. She draws and describes her pictures in words both in Russian and English. When she does it in English, she asks her colleague and friend Jim Blyth for proof-reading. She has an adorable husband and two kids (reminder: update when neccessary) who are, simultaneously, an endless source of inspiration and the black hole eating all the time. But what else would I need time for? - Tanja is wondering.
