Cyndi Marko is the award-winning author-illustrator of the Kung Pow Chicken series and This Little Piggy: An Owner's Manual. Born in Smithers, BC, Canada, Cyndi spent most of her time as a kid drawing pictures, reading books, and making up stories. Not much has changed, except Cyndi's mom makes her buy her own crayons now (well, most of the time, anyway. Thanks, Mom!). Cyndi currently lives in British Columbia, Canada.
