Ben Hatke is the author and illustrator of over a dozen books including the #1 New York Times bestselling Zita the Spacegirl trilogy, the Eisner award winning Little Robot, and the picture books Julia’s House for Lost Creatures and Nobody Likes a Goblin. Ben recently returned from circumnavigating the earth, traveling eastward for 55 days, and with minimal air travel, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean, Caspian, and Yellow Seas, and journeying through twelve countries until he returned, on foot, to his house from the other direction.
