David Mark was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he spent countless hours as a kid drawing pictures and dreaming of building a drafting table under the stairs! He moved to Nokomis in 2004, where he became fast friends with Kerry and her husband Doug. Over the years they have shared a lot of memories together and continue to be close friends. As the illustrator of the award-winning Bee Yourself, David is happy to help Kerry bring young readers another adventure with everyone’s favourite little bee!
