Hi, I’m Avery, an author/illustrator based in New York City. I am deeply inspired by stories of courage and hope from history, beauty in the natural world, and the laughter and play of children. So when I first learned of Iris Origo and the refugee children she cared for during World War II, I knew I needed to turn her story into a picture book. Here’s a sneak peek of my visual thesis, La Fattoria! Portfolio: averyreedstudio.com Email: [email protected]
