About Lily
Lily studied illustration and literature, combining her passion for visual storytelling and narrative. She believes children's books should be windows into diverse experiences while mirrors reflecting children's own identities. Her characters are intentionally diverse, her settings span the globe, and her stories celebrate the natural world.

Creating with Purpose
Lily's creative process begins with a message she wants to share with children—whether about friendship, environmental responsibility, or self-acceptance. She then develops characters and stories that bring that message to life organically, never preaching.
"Writer Sprout understood my vision for children's literature that entertains while educating. They invested in professional illustration and treated each book with genuine care," says Lily.
