Lea Marie Ravotti was born in the Czech Republic where she earned a Master’s degree in Art Education and Art History.

She taught art and art history for K–12 students before falling in love with children’s books and becoming a full-time book illustrator. She works to make sure that her illustrations don’t simply reproduce the text but evoke a relevant emotional response in children.

She lives with her husband and their three girls in Pennsylvania.
