Tida Kheav is a Cambodian Canadian illustrator based in Montreal. She grew up in Windsor, Ontario, where she spent much of her childhood buried in books or filling sketchbooks with whimsical characters and dreamy worlds. Today, she brings those worlds to life through both digital and traditional art--and sometimes clay, ceramics or watercolors, too! With a background in social work, she believes in the power of visual storytelling to connect, heal and spark imagination. When she's not drawing, she's probably baking something sweet or dreaming up her next adventure.

"Through Noun's inspirational life story, Hughes and Kheav present a part of history that many readers are unlikely to know. An intriguing and informative biography about seldom-covered Cambodian history formatted for middle grade readers."
