She spends her days scribbling away and drawing by the sea in England.
Realizing she might make a career out of this, she graduated with a degree in Illustration from Falmouth University and has since illustrated all kinds of wonderful things from picture books to reusable bags.
Unfortunately for her parents, this was often on their walls and furniture...with her mother\'s lipstick.
Samara Hardy has always loved to draw.

She lives with her family in California.
After earning a BA in Psychology from UCLA, an MA in Child Development from CSU, and a PhD in Education from UC Davis, Janay still loves storytelling! Her first book, Imani\'s Moon, was a NAESP Children\'s Book of the Year and a Reading Is Fundamental Multicultural Book Pick.
