DeeDee Henry

Dee Henry is a children’s book author, illustrator, musician, and freelance artist based in sunny Ventura, California. A proud wife and mom of four, DeeDee has spent her life making magic through music and art. She’s the illustrator of "The Little Ninja Who Wouldn't Comb His Hair" and now celebrates the release of two back-to-back children's books, "The Little Fig Tree," and "The Naughty Tangerine." Her whimsical style draws from the joyful chaos of family life, her award-winning artwork, and years of performing with her family band, The Rockin' Henrys, who’ve racked up local music accolades along the way. Whether strumming a tune or sketching a story, DeeDee loves sparking wonder and laughter in young readers—and their grownups, too.
