Paula FrancoWhen asked to tell us a bit about herself, Paula said:
“I studied Illustration & Graphic Design. After graduating, I lived in the Republic of San Marino for two years, where I worked as an illustrator and graphic designer until I decided to follow my true passion: children’s book illustration.
I signed with my agent in 2011 and have worked with many wonderful publishers in the United States, Europe, and South America ever since. My work has been featured on the New York Times Children’s Best Seller list and has been awarded a Kirkus Star and a School Library Journal Star.
I work from my studio office at home alongside my four lovely mixed-breed rescue dogs. They are my noisy office assistants!”
