Emilie Boon

Emilie Boon is the illustrator or author-illustrator of more than twenty books for children, including ELLA & MONKEY AT SEA, published by Candlewick Press and inspired by her own experience sailing to America when she was young. Born in the Netherlands, Emilie spent her childhood daydreaming in California and Mexico. She draws her inspiration from the many places she has lived. She vividly remembers New York City transformed by snow into a magical place, which inspired her illustrations for WE WANT SNOW written by Jamie A. Swenson. Emilie now lives in the Boston area.
