Taylor Ackerman, Children's Illustrator and designer, Champaign Illinois

A little about Taylor 

Taylor Woolley is a children's author and illustrator from Atlanta, Georgia. Armed with a sketchbook full of wild ideas, Taylor brings to life stories guaranteed to make readers giggle, gasp, and cheer. Her books are packed with the kind of joyful chaos that happens when imagination runs loose. Whether it’s a dog on a mission to get to the moon, or a mouse throwing a birthday party, Taylor’s stories are full of humor, heart, and a little bit of mischief.

When she’s not sketching or writing, you’ll likely find her hanging at home with her husband and their young daughter, or pausing mid-hike to admire a particularly excellent frog.
