Priscilla Burris has loved creating art from a very young age. Developing characters who bring their own personalities and perspectives into a story or image is probably the most favorite part of what she does. She is a graduate from The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and the illustrator of the Heidi Heckelbeck series (Little Simon), Maggi and Milo (Dial), and more. She is also both author and illustrator of Five Green and Speckled Frogs: A Count-And-Sing Book (Scholastic). Priscilla lives in Southern California.
