Puzzle features this quote: "This is the assembly of life that took a billion years to evolve. It has eaten the storms, folded them into its genes, and created the world that created us. It holds the world steady" from Edward O. Wilson. Edward O. Wilson, known as the "father of biodiversity," is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and the world's leading expert on the study of ants.

She focuses her works on natural history subjects including biodiversity and astronomy. Bugs and other insects are the hardest animals to draw because so many have intricate patterns, Kelsey says. Her favorite animals to draw are whales and sharks. Kelsey finds inspiration on nature walks around her neighborhood and visits to her local arboretum and conservatory. Take on the extra challenge of a round puzzle! As you puzzle, learn the building blocks of biodiversity: the wide variety of organisms that make up all the life on our planet.
