Story behind the story
Everyone knows bugs. While we often think of them as annoying, they play an important role in nature! If we better understood their role, we would be more mindful of protecting their populations. This book is part of a series of four books about animals in need—Bears, Bugs, Birds, and Marine Life.
About the illustrator
Malgosia Zajac is a Polish illustrator. She live with her family in a very old Polish city called Krakow. This city is well known for it’s famous dragon (unfortunately not in good shape anymore) and for “Wawel” royal castle (still in very good shape).
She strongly believes that imagination is the most important thing in her artistic live. Her head is always full of all kind of creatures, imaginary friends, magical worlds and incredible storys. She uses her skills and different techniques to create nonexistent worlds on paper in her illustrations.
The shelves in her workshop are full of beautiful books, illustrated by her favorite artists from all over the world. She admires them and still learns something new from them. Malgosia dreams that one day, her illustrated books will be on someones favorite shelve too. https://www.instagram.com/bigdotillustrations

'Animals in need' series
This book is one in a series of four, each designed to inform and engage young readers in a playful way. The books explain how human activities negatively impact animal life, to the extent that it could even harm us humans in the future. Each of the four books includes four spreads of infographics, which provide parents with additional facts about the animals discussed in the book, helping to deepen the learning experience.
