Maria Leonello
Maria Leonello had wanted to illustrate children’s books all her life, and finally her dream came true. This is her first picture book. After obtaining a degree as an illustrator and designer, she worked in advertising as an art director for many years but her passion was always to illustrate picture books.
Originally from Adelaide, South Australia, she now happily resides in Melbourne with her husband and two daughters, and looks forward to the next chapter of her life.
