(Russian) Ким Сое окончила кафедру западной живописи Университета Донгук и прошла обучение в школе книжной иллюстрации Хангук (HILLS). Книга «Наш папа – плюшевый мишка» – это первая работа художницы. Этот сюжет пришёл ей в голову в то время, когда её детям-погодкам ещё не исполнилось и пяти лет, и она разрывалась между семьёй, работой по дому и творчеством. Другая книга автора – «Ты чудо».

(English) Kim Soye majored in Western painting at Dongguk University and studied illustration at HILLS illustration school. Daddy Bear is the first picture book she both wrote and illustrated. When her kids, who were born within a year of each other, were four and five years old, she thought a lot about the balance between parenting, housekeeping and self-realization, and those thoughts became the seeds of this book. Kim also illustrated the book You Are a Miracle.
