Shahar Kober is an illustrator working from a very small studio, in a very small town, in a very small country. Over the years, Shahar has illustrated tens of books, but he also creates illustrations for newspapers, magazines, and animated films. He also teaches illustration. When Shahar doesn't illustrate, he enjoys the outdoors, taking care of his garden (which is very small as well!), and finding little insect friends there.
