I’m Yerma Woods, author of Flipped and Stripped: A Language Learning Model Made Me Do It and illustrator of The Snail with the Candle and Other Quiet Protests. My work explores gentle acts of resistance, language and technology, and the quiet resilience that helps us carry on. Through stories and art, I hope to create spaces that soothe, provoke reflection, and encourage us all to keep moving forward, slowly, softly, and on our own terms.
