The Owl and the Pussycat Went to Sea

Children's book cover titled 'The Owl and the Pussycat Went to Sea,' featuring illustrated owl and cat characters riding a dragon-like boat on water.

Ailithir published her own version of this beloved, historic poem with her whimsical illustrations in 2017.


The Misadventures of a Bad Bunny

Multiple copies of a book titled "The Misadventures of a Bad Bunny" with a colorful illustration of a bunny glaring at a bumblebee on the cover, featuring yellow flowers and green foliage, set on a patterned surface.

This all-ages black and white collection of comics proves that the main character is, indeed, a very bad bunny.


My Approach

What began as my childhood hobby has evolved into a life-long pursuit. I am proud of the art and stories I have created and can’t wait to share the stories yet to come! With my love for nature and history infused into everything I do, I seek to pique your curiosity with my pictures and prose. Enjoy the adventure!

Beautiful Pictures

Every child - even the grownup ones - deserves the highest-quality illustrations to accompany the stories they read. I strive to be the kind of artist I loved as a kid..

Prolific Prose

Every reader - even the youngest ones - deserves to revel in the wondrous abundance of English language. No word is too big, too obscure, or too onerous for my stories.
