Children's book author Jana Sedlackova enjoys, among other things, singing in a choir and decorating gingerbread during Christmas. Her love for fairytales fuels her conviction that those who don't read them are still searching for the perfect one. She graduated from the School of Textile Design and Management in Brno, Czech Republic. Magdalena Konecna illustrated her first book when she was only 17 years old. Her main sources of inspiration are her dreams and travels and the natural world. You can find her pictures on greeting cards and in notebooks, as well as in various publications. She lives and works in the Czech Republic.

Reviews for Bustling Cities of the World

"""The illustrations are charmingly rendered and I like that each city's illustrations have a unifying color. This makes the page full of tiny illustrations feel cohesive. I feel like this would be a good book to read with younger kids, although older kids would probably appreciate the illustrations as well."" —NetGalley-ReviewerThere is so much to discover in this book covering some of the largest and best known cities around the globe. The illustration style is fresh and vibrant and captures the attention quickly. It has a very ""travel sketchbook"" feel to it which I absolutely loved. - NetGalley-Educator This is a lovely book, the illustrations are beautiful and they will entice any family to pick it up and read it to and with their children. I like the very full pages, almost like a seek and find book, they seem to bustle just like the title of the book! - NetGalley-Librarian A fun illustrated description of cities around the world. The illustrations are cute and each city has a simple, short description written about it. - NetGalley-Bookseller"
