About the artist:
Rebecca (Becca) Bilski attends Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where she is working towards a BFA in Studio Arts with a concentration in Illustration and minors in Creative Writing and Drawing.
Becca’s fondness for animals and the environment frequently inspires her art. Growing up on a rural farm on the outskirts of Erie, Pennsylvania makes Becca approach tasks with a resourceful manner and diligence combining a strong work ethic and a passion for the arts.
"When illustrating this book, I wished to provide children with an opportunity to learn about COIVD-19 through visual learning. I am a visual learner and often have to draw pictures to remember and understand new information. This was a struggle for me in childhood. So as an adult, I am now aiming to assist current students to cultivate their minds in a way that works best for them."
