Nancy Whitesides is an author and self-taught illustrator, born and raised in the Philippines. She is now based in California with her family. Her art and stories are inspired by her love for children, nature, and the feeling of still being the six-year-old girl who’s just won the regional drawing contest and climbed the giant tamarind tree behind Grandpa’s house to watch the sun set.
Her illustration debut will be Grief is an Elephant with Chronicle in 2023.
