Biography
Kass Reich was born in Montreal, Canada. She works as an artist and educator and has spent the majority of the last decade traveling and living abroad. Kass graduated with a degree in Art Education from Concordia University, then picked up and moved to Beijing, where she worked as an early childhood educator for nearly three years. Working with little ones inspired her to start making picture books for very young learners. After Beijing, she lived in Hong Kong, London and Melbourne. She now finds herself back in Canada, but this time in Toronto.~Facebook: @kassreichillustration~Instagram: @kass_reich_illustration
