About the Author

Author Info

Hi, my name is Maryna K. Gipsov. I was born in Belarus, grew up in Ukraine, and now live in the United States with my family and our cat Kuzia. I graduated from an art school in Ukraine and law school in both Ukraine and U.S.

I am a lawyer by occupation and a dreamer by heart. I am fluent in Russian, Ukrainian and English, and hope to learn Georgian someday. I love to travel, spend time with my family, draw, sing, dance, read children's books, just be silly at times, and cats!  (=^・ェ・^=)

I am very excited about my first children's book "Adventures of the Whistling Girl and the Carrot Pal at the Zoo" written in Russian and Ukrainian. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing and illustrating it!

The English version of the book is coming soon! Stay tuned! 

I love you. Thank you.
