Åsa's dad was a mapmaker who'd spend summers outdoors detailing aerial photos, while she would pass time in the car, drawing creatures and folks entangled in perplexing drama. That is why Åsa is still pretty good at drawing in a moving car. Åsa is the author of The Perfect Shelter (starred review from Kirkus).
