Faded pavement.

Boring city streets?
No way!
Chelsea Tornetto is a former world geography teacher who has loved writing ever since she was a kid. Her first book, Conquering Content Vocabulary, was published by Scholastic in 2018, but now her passion is picture books. She is the award-winning author of Gardens Are for Growing (Familius 2022) and God Made You Too (WorthyKids 2022), with more titles on the way.
As an introverted kid growing up in Vermont, drawing came naturally to Laurel Aylesworth. Instead of going to the mall like most teenagers, you would find her in her room drawing scenes from Lord of the Rings or copying her favorite characters from Elfquest comics. Later, her career path naturally led to graphic design, but something was missing (namely, elves and magic). She found her calling as an illustrator after becoming a mother and, hence, wading knee-deep in picture books from the library.
