When author/illustrator Benson Shum is not sleeping, he is drawing or eating. Mostly drawing. By day, he is an animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios, where he was a part of such films as Frozen, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, and Moana. At night, he can be found sketching in his pajamas with a slice of pie. Originally from Vancouver, British Columbia, Benson now lives in sunny Southern California.
