Author Spotlight: Charise Mericle Harper

Charise Mericle Harper is the author and/or illustrator of many picture books and chapter books, as well as the Just Grace chapter book series.

Born in Vancouver, Canada, Ms Harper did not go to art school. Most of her paintings are done in acrylics, and she works on illustrations after the story is written.

She dislikes brussels sprouts and trying to problem solve her computer, but she loves her family, lists, her job, riding her bike, getting mail...and pie.

She now lives in Mamaroneck, New York with her family.
