Deidre is a children’s book illustrator from the American Midwest, where the winters are long, and the summers filled with fireflies. As a child, Deidre spent hours drawing animals in notebooks, inventing tiny worlds for them to live in, and wondering what adventures might be hiding just beyond the tree line.

Today, Deidre creates whimsical illustrations filled with lively characters, and little surprises tucked into every corner. Working with a mix of traditional and digital mediums, her art invites young readers to slow down, look closely, and imagine a world where kindness, curiosity and a little bit of mischief is always welcome.
