Yaroslava, or Yara for short, is a neurodivergent author-illustrator and character designer with an uncontrollable desire to know everything about anteaters (and all other weirdly shaped animals). When she’s not drawing, you can find her baking white chocolate chip cookies, drinking coffee before bed, having deep conversations with her cat, Ciri, and gathering new ideas for illustrations from documentaries at 3 AM.
