ABOUT
Hey there, I’m Ariel!
I’m a children’s book author,
self-taught digital illustrator,
and self-publishing instructor.
My first picture book, Fear and a Friend, was selected as a Kickstarter “Project We Love”. Since then I have contributed to three more self-published books, including Hair Like Me that was featured on NBC and HLN, and My First Book of Shona and Ndebele Words for the two native languages of Zimbabwe. I have worked with The Writer's Center, Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and various other organizations. I would love to work with you too!
