Little Picnic Press is an independent publisher dedicated to creating thoughtfully written and well designed books that promote cultural diversity, food, and travel. With each book, the vision is to help children open up their palates and minds, developing an appetite for accepting different tastes and cultures.

Cheryl Chepusova is a designer, writer, publisher, and children's book author. As a Hong Kong native and city dweller, she has traveled around Asia and also lived and worked in Toronto, New York, and San Francisco. She has a background in graphic design and an MFA in design criticism. In 2018, she started Little Picnic Press and co-created the board book series, Big Cities Little Foodies, as a gift for her daughter's first birthday, and to introduce young children to lesser known foods from around the world. She has since published other books that promote cultural diversity, food, travel, and bilingual reading. Cheryl currently lives in the Bay Area and enjoys picnics with her husband and there children, teaching them to speak multiple languages, and trying new things together.
