Dichotomous Hippopotamus is one hippo split in two -
Half of him is pink, and the other half is blue!
One part says go, the other says stay...
He's stuck right in the middle
until a giraffe comes upon his way!
Dichotomous Hippopotamus,
this hippo split in two - he could
be just like me, but he might
be more like YOU!
Hrytskova, Polina: - I draw children's illustrations because I still feel like a child. I grew up in a family of music teachers, without a father, in a small provincial town. I loved spending time in nature, climbing trees and playing with flowers, watching animals, birds and insects. I have been drawing since early childhood. I graduated from college and worked as a teacher, designer, painted walls, painted icons, portraits, wrote poetry, sewed shoes in a factory, played keyboards in a rock band, was fond of woodcarving, sang in a church choir ...I like extreme entertainment: riding a motorcycle, parachuting, flying on a single-engine plane. I have performed in Ukraine, Poland, Mexico and Russia with sand animation. I worked as a stage artist in America, in Hollywood, on the show "America's Got Talent" (backstage) and I created stage images, stage designs and decorations for different artists. I also collaborate with magicians, created drawings of illusion equipment, and design illusion devices (I once drew for David Copperfield!) October 23rd 2020 I got married! I really want a lot of children, so far this is my greatest desire.

Nishan, Prema: - "Raised by her single elderly father in the bogan town of Bundaberg, Queensland, Prema was a restless child; wild and curly like her hair. Prema could never sit still for long and couldn't seem to behave at school. When she discovered an old typewriter at 9 years old, she found a way to channel her imagination and frustrated self-expression into long fantastic stories and dreamed of one day publishing books for real. Amidst many adventures and long years of wandering and wondering, Prema studied art therapy, process-oriented psychology, group facilitation and is now completing her masters degree in Conflict Resolution and Management. She worked as a group facilitator in both Thailand and Australia, facilitating courses in intentional community design. She has a keen interest in permaculture, yoga, and has lived in over a dozen different intentional communities around the world - exploring alternative models of community and lifestyle. Prema's favourite things are dancing, gardening and helping people to heal through understanding themselves and each other. Dichotomous Hippopotamus and the Half-and-Half Giraffe is the first book Prema has published, and intends that it will be the first of many in a series of fun stories that reflect aspects of our inner world. Look out for Prema's next book, "The Irrelevant Elephant and the Horse of Remorse"!"
