About the Author and Illustrator

Angela “Gela” (pronounced GEE-lah) Palma is an illustrator from somewhere in Pennsylvania. Sometimes she’s from Pittsburgh, and sometimes she’s from Philadelphia, but she is never from Harrisburg. In her first year in college at Moore College of Art & Design, Palma was enchanted by small living stone plant and has fallen madly in love with the world of house plants ever since. Besides drawing lots and lots of plants, Palma loves children’s illustration and exploring how to push her art in terms of form, color, and charm.
