"The Forest has lots to say . . . if you listen. When a young child steps into the forest, her ears are open and her heart is too. She listens carefully to the forest around her--and hears such marvelous things, from the creaking of the trees stretching skyward to the rustling of the leaves sharing their secrets. This sounds-of-nature series for young children encourages imagination, awareness, and empathy with all living things. Our forests are full of magic--if we can only hear it."-- |

Now, she and her husband have made a home in the woods so that her son can do the same. Carmen Mok studied studio art at the University of Waterloo and design at Sheridan College. Her illustrations have been published in magazines across Canada and the U.S., as well as in greeting cards, stationery, and children's home accessories. She has now decided to dedicate herself to children's book illustration, and she has received several illustration awards, including the SCBWI Canada East People's Choice Portfolio Award for Illustration in 2017 and 2018, as well as the Storyteller Award in 2018.
