Rebecca A. Ellis

Rebecca Ellis grew up in a world where books were treasured, and nature was a daily adventure. Her childhood was filled with climbing trees, wandering meadows, and savoring the beauty of every season. These early experiences instilled in her a deep love for storytelling and the natural world, which continues to inspire her work today.

Even before her children were born, Rebecca embraced Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education—a life-long, rich journey of living books, nature, art, and experience. Her heart is to see many of the beloved old books her family treasures brought back into the hands of today’s children with fresh, beautiful illustrations. The Burgess Bird Book for Children is a testament to what can be achieved through modern technology, breathing new life into timeless classics.

When Rebecca isn’t taking long walks in the heart of nature, she can often be found in her favorite corner of the den, snuggled beside the fire, sipping tea, and reading wonderful books to her children.
