Elena has had a passion for drawing cartoons and writing songs since she was little, which eventually led her to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design. She loves writing and illustrating children's books that rhyme, with funny and colorful characters that encourage young readers to feel confident and strong. When she is not creating, Elena loves singing, making music, and being a dog mom to her puppy Mr. Bagelsworth. She hopes this book inspires families to laugh and learn together.
