ABOUT SHELLEY
Shelley is an author, illustrator, and designer who loves upsides and everyday joys. She is the creator of the acclaimed Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker chapter book series, and two buoyant picture books, More Than Sunny and This Joy! Her newest picture book, What Are You Waiting For?, written by Marcy Campbell, just released in May and makes a perfect gift.
A former architectural designer, Shelley now makes art and books from her childhood home in Michigan, where she lives with her husband, two sons, and three hilarious birds.
