Light, Kelly: -Kelly Lightis an author and illustrator who now lives in New York but grew up down the shore in New Jersey surrounded by giant pink dinosaurs, cotton candy colors, and Skee-Ball sounds.

She has illustrated two chapter book series: Elvis and the Underdogs by Jenny Lee and the Quirks by Erin Soderberg. She is the author-illustrator of Louise Loves Art and Louise and Andie.
