Giavanna Grein"Giavanna Grein grew up in New Mexico and has always been inspired by natural landscapes and wildlife. With a background in environmental education and current career in conservation, she loves writing stories that connect kids with creatures from al over the world. Make Herstory is her second picture book, and was inspired by the incredibly strong women who raised and supported her as well as the fierce women who motivate her every day. When Nilly Met Nelly, the Hungry Hungry Ele (Mascot Books, 2017) was her debut picture book. When she's not writing or admiring the work of fellow authors and illustrators, she can be found kayaking, hiking, bird watching, or chasing after her three rescue pets outside of Washington, DC."
