Ellie Peterson

Ellie Peterson is the author and illustrator of multiple picture books, including HOW TO HUG A PUFFERFISH and SCHOOL IS WHEREVER I AM. Her work is inspired by 20 years as a classroom teacher and her experience growing up as a biracial army brat. When she's not in the classroom, you can find her making art in her backyard studio or exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where she lives.
