About the author...

Alleanna's headshot in an illustrated frame.

I’m Alleanna! I'm a picture book illustrator from NJ.

Here's my fancy portfolio bio:

Alleanna has been drawing for as long as she can remember. As a little kid, she would draw on every page of her mom’s legal pads, and doodle on notebooks at school and on the programs at church. She graduated from the University of the Arts with a BFA in animation with honors. During this time, she realized her love for illustration. Alleanna finds inspiration in the beauty of everyday things. In her work, she seeks to create images that are immersive, rich in color, and have a sense of warmth.

I’ve illustrated picture books such as All the Greatness In YouRecipes for Change, Oshún and Me, A Song for August, Down On the Bayou, and Prayer Is. I’ve illustrated for publishing clients like Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Scholastic, and I’ve illustrated for commercial clients like The History Channel, Toyota, Xfinity, and more.

I’m also a small business owner (since 2015). I sell my art prints, sketches, and stickers on my store, Alleanna Harris Art. 3,500+ sales and counting, thanks to folks like you.
