Author/Illustrator
Raima
was born in 1968. At the age of 27, he published his first book "I Turned into a Fire-breathing Dragon!" " received favorable reviews and has since become a full-time picture book creator.
In Laima's creations, every seemingly humorous and light-hearted story is actually rigorously structured, not only to make sense, but also to be logical; every detail of the picture, which is cleverly laid out, has been repeatedly considered and carefully managed. In addition to being amazed at the first sight, it is worth reading again and again.

作／繪者簡介
賴馬
1968年生，27歲那年出版第一本書《我變成一隻噴火龍了！》即獲得好評，從此成為專職的圖畫書創作者。目前一家五口在台灣台東玩耍生活著。
在賴馬的創作裡，每個看似幽默輕鬆的故事，其實結構嚴謹，不但務求合情合理、還要符合邏輯；每幅以巧妙手法佈局的畫面細節，都歷經反覆推敲、仔細經營。除了第一眼的驚嘆，更禁得起一讀再讀。
賴馬的作品幾乎得過所有台灣重要的圖畫書獎項，亦曾連續三年登上誠品書店暢銷書榜圖畫書類第一名。2007年應邀到大阪國際兒童文學館演講。每有新作都廣受喜愛，足以顯示賴馬在圖畫書世界的魅力。
