Meet the Author
Remy
Remy is a longtime storyteller, reef-keeping hobbyist, and former radio host who spent years on the air in major markets across the country. After building a career sharing stories with thousands of listeners, he turned his passion for the ocean into the Duncan the Llama series. Every time Remy looks into an aquarium, or out across the sea itself, he feels the same sense of wonder he hopes to pass on to young readers. He loves exploring the world of science with his two children, Emerson and Leo, and sharing new adventures with his wife Lauren, who encourages his biggest ideas. Duncan’s Reef Rescue is his debut children’s book and the first in a series exploring the beauty and importance of coral reefs.
Meet the Illustrator
Mayumi Kimura
Mayumi was born in Brazil and now lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and their curious cat. She has loved drawing since she was little, and after building a career in marketing and game art, she decided to focus on bringing stories to life through her illustrations. When she isn’t drawing, she enjoys knitting, playing video games, biking, and sipping a cozy cup of coffee. She had a wonderful time creating the illustrations for Duncan’s adventures and hopes her art inspires kids to dive in and discover the magic of the ocean!
