The Pale Pickle came to life when two creatives, author and recipe curator Stephanie Krubsack, and Illustrator Nhi Poss, teamed up to create a children’s book that promotes healthy eating, gardening, and community. Watch the video about our story here!
MEET THE AUTHOR
Stephanie Krubsack began her creative experience as an editor-in-chief for a magazine and later building personal websites and content through food and travel blogging at SK Parfait. She learned about the importance of healthy food and creating allergy-friendly recipes for children and families, especially after working in the IT industry specializing in software for food manufacturers. Self-publishing her first children’s book on Czech-Slovak culture called, A Story of Czech-Slovak Traditions, led to the desire to create additional materials for education, along with promoting wellness and sustainable living via Purevant Living.
MEET THE ILLUSTRATOR
Nhi Poss is a Vietnamese illustrator and designer, owner at JubiArtDesign. She graduated from Carroll University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design, minoring in Fine Art. With her whimsical and dream-like style, Nhi began her journey as a children’s book illustrator. She currently lives and works in Wisconsin with her husband and a fluffy cat named Maru.
