Profile
Elisa Chavarri is a freelance illustrator originally from Lima, Peru. She did much of her growing up in Northern Michigan, where her family kept their Peruvian culture and Latin roots alive. After studying Classical Animation and Comics at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Elisa made her way back to Alpena, Michigan, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. Living in rural northern Michigan offers plenty of inspiration for this nature/animal lover, even when the front door is covered in an inch of fish flies. With her work she hopes to inspire a sense of magic, happiness, & wonder in children, while helping more kids feel represented as the protagonists of these stories. Awards include Junior Library Guild Selection and CCBC Choice Award
