About the Author

From the moment she was able to hold a pencil, Alina Tysoe was scribbling away and filling notebooks with doodles of dogs and comics about her family. Today, Alina is an illustrator, 2D animator, and author of What’s Up Beanie: Acutely Relatable Comics, a collection based on her popular webcomic by the same name, the picture book Emi Isn’t Scared of Monsters, and the graphic chapter book series The Great Puptective. She lives in Toronto with her husband, Mike, who makes regular appearances in her webcomic, and, infuriatingly, no dogs.
