Baek Duri has always loved to draw. As a child, she used to fill every blank space with drawings, often getting told not to draw in books. Thankfully, books offered her front and inner pages first. Baek majored in visual design at Hongik University and now works as an illustrator. She has illustrated some 110 books including Grumpy Child and Nobody Lost. She has written and illustrated The Appropriate Level of Honesty, A Woman Living Alone, How Am I?, and Making Ends Meet as An Illustrator.
