Author Notes:CHRISTINE (DIỄM UYÊN) CHUNG is a Vietnamese-Canadian artist who works on storyboards for animated TV and feature films by day and sketches up the plans for another world by night. She is interested in stories that live in the space between our connection to our planet, our communities and to ourselves -- striving to find collective triumph in our darkest of places. Christine lives in Toronto, Canada, with her family --and a few blocks away from her childhood friend Salwa. Viewfinder is her debut book.

SALWA MAJOKA is a Pakistani-Canadian illustrator and 2D artist for the animation industry. She has worked on both TV cartoons and in film with a focus on painting and color design -- the two things she enjoys the most about visual storytelling. Salwa has a special love and curiosity for the many marvels of the natural world, outer space and the deep sea, which often find their way into her work. She has known her co-author, Christine, since middle school, and this is her first book. She lives in Toronto, Canada, with her family.
