Rachel Shaw is an author and illustrator, and the communications officer for the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. In 2009, she was part of an exchange program organized between the UK and the Philippines by Rotary International and was able to see some of the incredible diversity of species on the country's 7,107 islands. As she learned more about the animals, she began to record their stories through text and artwork. Her children's book on pangolins was published in the Philippines in 2015 by The Bookmark, Inc. Today she is the creator of the heartwarming Instagram page pipisinpangolin. She lives in Lincoln, UK.
