Alexandra Welch-Zerba

About the Author: Alexandra was born on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, and has always dreamed of writing a children’s book.

Alexandra lives in Bow, New Hampshire with her husband, daughter and four cats.

About the Illustrator: Since Sheila was a very small child, her favorite pastime was to draw. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, she worked for a small art agency in Boston, Massachusetts, and then moved to Nantucket, Massachusetts, where she started her own commercial art business. With retirement came a move to Portsmouth, New Hampshire and time to experiment with water colors, and design greeting cards for family and friends. Sheila now lives with her husband in Exeter, New Hampshire where she continues to enjoy working with pen, pencil and brush.
