The Argonaut Queen

L P Hansen writes her stories in a cottage by the sea in sunny New Zealand. She decorates her garden with smooth driftwood and shiny abalone or pāua shells from the nearby beach. The first paper nautilus shell Linda found is an Argonauta nodosa. She found it at Tūhua or Mayor Island, a wildlife refuge in New Zealand’s North Island. Marlo Garnsworthy is an author, illustrator, editor, and Antarctic science communicator. When she’s not making books, you’ll find her paddling her kayak, hiking a trail, having adventures in far-flung places, or dreaming of Antarctica. She lives in a National Park on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, with her husband, two cats, and lots of wildlife.
