Heather Fox is an illustrator of stories for children. She likes to explore the use of color and shapes to create bright and whimsical doodles! When she isn’t creating, you can probably find her enjoying a cup of coffee, walking around town, or chasing down her dog (Sir Hugo) who has stolen one of her socks. She lives in Lititz, Pennsylvania, with her husband, the author Jonathan Stutzman.
