Hi!My name is Zuzana.I have always loved drawing and painting. For me, one of the great sources of inspiration is animals. I have a soft spot for dogs, mice, and anteaters. And lemurs. And sloths. And actually all the animals (especially the fluffy ones, but lizards and crocodiles are also pretty awesome). I like writing stories about animals and illustrating them, mostly using watercolors.I enjoy going for walks with my friend – Dusty the dachshund. You can see us in the photo. I like reading, watching documentaries about animals, and drinking coffee. I am based in the Czech Republic, in the city of Prague.

What about that one? Daisy pointed at a particular seed that was flying higher and higher.

You’ll have to be careful not to end up like the princess in one tale I know, Grandpa warned her.

What happened to the princess? she asked.

Will you tell us the tale, please? begged Charlie.

Of course I will. Grandpa smiled.

One day, Princess Sylvia went to the garden. She was walking around a flowerbed with tiny blue flowers when she saw a beautiful dandelion. It looked as if it was wearing a white wig. The Princess came closer to the dandelion to have a better look, and at that moment, the wind started blowing. Lots and lots of tiny seeds with tiny fluffy propellers flew away. They filled the
