The Author
Pupa was written on the basis of an adventure, in this case a fantasy which looks into the meaning of time, accomplishment and drive, using a character which depicts gender connotations through animal-like characters. Throughout the book, the author has attempted to sustain a visual image of the story which implores the backdrops of the story as well as the situations faced by the leading character.

“Pupa” is Melissa’s third published children’s book. Her second children’s book was nominated for the State Literary Award in 2012 while her first children’s book “Crocodile” won the Cyprus State Illustration Award in 2008. She has also published a Free Verse Poetry Publication which was launched in 2013. Her books are distributed in Cyprus and Greece. Melissa Hekkers is a Journalist based in Nicosia, Cyprus.
