Illustrator Anne Belov lives on an island in the Puget Sound, surrounded by tall trees and the occasional grove of bamboo. Her love of pandas came early in life, via stuffed pandas and books about them. When Mei Lun and Mei Huan were born, she danced around the kitchen in excitement while screaming into the phone to another lover of pandas who was also watching the birth on the Panda Cams. Anne has traveled to see pandas in five countries, including China, where she saw more pandas than she could count.
