Arpita Choudhury is a self-taught artist and illustrator who lives in Pittsburgh, PA with her husband, daughter, two cats, one dog, and two hermit crabs. She is a lapsed marine biologist who loves nature, vintage picture books, miniatures, history, chocolate, and a good murder mystery. The name fern spike comes from paleontology. An abundance of ferns can sometimes be found in the fossil record after a catastrophic event-thus a fern spike. Ferns are one of the first plants to appear to help a beleaguered ecosystem heal. There is always hope for a new day and a new beginning.
