Elle Rowley

Elle Rowley is a writer and founder of the award-winning baby carrier company Solly Baby. She lives in Bonsall, California with her husband and four children on a small, three-acre farm. They share the farm with two dogs, two cats, eight chickens, and a barn that they have turned into a one-room schoolhouse for the community, providing endless entertainment and inspiration for her writing. Agnes and the Sheep was inspired by Elle's childhood, family, and real-life Great Dane. Classical children’s folktales and fables influenced her writing, as well as parenting style. “As I’ve had my own children, I’ve rediscovered and fallen in love with these stories all over again, all while mourning the difficulty in finding them as I see this kind of traditional storytelling slipping away from the children’s section all together. I felt a call to write stories for my own posterity, but also for other children who may feel like I did, living in a world so confusing and loud that they will find respite and rootedness in these stories.”
