Irina Avgustinovich grew up in Belarus, where she began her illustration career and started a family of her own. In 2022, her family moved to Portugal—a move which, like the story in Snow Steps, came with significant cultural change. In Irina’s case, her move created a deep longing for snow that no longer falls like it did in Belarus! Despite the challenges, Irina and her family continue to learn about and appreciate the joy of the Portuguese way of life.
