Kari Percival

Kari Percival's illustration style is rooted in the woodcuts she's been carving and printing for more than two decades. Kari was a 2017 recipient of the New England SCBWI Four-by-Four mentorship program. She earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master's degree in education and environmental science from Antioch University. Her debut picture book, How to Say Hello to a Worm, was awarded the Ezra Jack Keats Award. Ecology has always been her favorite topic to teach, whether in the classroom or in the community garden. Kari lives with her husband and two children just outside Boston near a magical waterfall.
