Kristen Adam is an Illustrator and print & pattern designer based in the beautiful city of San Francisco. What inspires her most is finding magic in the seemingly ordinary. When she's not wandering the woods looking for wildflowers, she loves stargazing, reading sci-fi/fantasy novels, and doing tarot card readings.

"Lavishing attention on details of distinctive patterns and feathers, Adam portrays the birds in magnificent close-ups....A breezy, appealing whoo's whoo."--Kirkus

"In light-filled digital spreads, Adam (The Secret of Fall) shows the owls in flight and at rest, emphasizing their city-bird status by picturing them near fire escapes and neon signs. Drawing frequent parallels between owls and humans ("Flaco worked the night shift"), cadenced text assures readers that owls might be more proximate than they think."--Publishers Weekly
